A member asked:
I feel this cool sensation (like icy hot ) on the upper part of my back. what could it be ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve: This is most likely an irritability of some superficial nerve endings in view of the fact that you don't have any skin discoloration there. This should eventually subside but if it doesn't or worsens, a neurologist could best evaluate and advise you.
