Yes it can: Any excessive stimulation of the cutaneous (skin) nerves by temperature, pressure or touch can make the neuropathic symptoms worse.

Could this crazy tingling sensation on my scalp (no pain or itch, just a weird buzz) be peripheral neuropathy? I've had some weird feelings like fingers and feet are being skewered by needles too.
