Your skin is filled with tiny nerve endings that relay signals to the brain regarding sensation. When these nerves are interrupted during signaling to the brain, which can be caused by compression, pulling, inflammation, or having a reduced blood supply to the nerve, the skin feels a sensation of prickling and tingling. We cannot know what is causing this specifically. Your doctor can tell you more.
