What Causes Tingling Sensation On Scratching One Of The Legs?

when i scratch that peroneal tendon in my ankle i get a tingling sensation. It is not painful and it only occurs with my left foot. By doing the same action on my right foot there is no tingling. What is the tingling caused by and is it something I should be concerned with?
