Dysesthesias
Dysesthesias refer to a group of abnormal and often unpleasant sensations that may include burning, tingling, prickling, or itching without an apparent external cause. These sensations can occur spontaneously or be triggered by stimuli that would not normally provoke them, such as light touch or temperature changes. Unlike paresthesias, which are typically described as tingling or "pins and needles," dysesthesias are more distressing and often painful.
