What causes the skin on your arms to be sensitive to touch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sensitive skin: There is no specific answer for this. If you have sensitivity that affects your daily activity, that is cause for evaluation although the results may be frustratingly vague. Nerve issues usually result in reduced sensation.
