I'm experiencing this prickling sensation and a lot of itching on my hands near my wrists, legs, and even on my back. It's really uncomfortable, especially during the summer. Could you suggest some remedies I could try to get some relief?

It sounds like you may be experiencing heat rash, also known as prickly heat. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using calamine lotion on the affected areas to soothe the itching and prickling sensation. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter antihistamine like Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help reduce itching. Make sure to stay cool and hydrated, wear loose-fitting clothing, and avoid excessive sweating to prevent further irritation.
