Why Does Humidity Causes Tingling, Burning And Itching On Various Parts Of Body?

humidity sets off uncontrollable tingling, burning, and itching on various parts of mostly the front part of my body. It seemed to start about 20 years ago after a surgery, lasted about 15 years, then slowly went away until now, just after a recent surgery, these symptoms have returned.

Hi.
As per your case history you are having tingling due to vitamin b12 deficiency.
My treatment advice is -
1. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
2. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
3. Other treatment options are oral gabapentin, injectable vitamin b12 given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
