I'm experiencing this really uncomfortable feeling in winter, almost like needles are poking out of my skin from the inside, and its really intense. It usually happens when I'm out in the sun or doing any physical activity. The only thing that slightly helps is taking off my clothes and coming into contact with something cold or scratching really hard all over. But now, even just being outside for a little while triggers this sensation, and it's getting harder to handle in front of others. It's really impacting my life and work. I've noticed red patches appear where I feel the needle-poking sensation, which is worrying me a lot. I've been bathing with cold water to try and lessen how often it happens, but I'm really looking for a better and more long-term solution. Could you help me understand what's going on and advise on what I might do?
