I have a persistent prickling sensation and occasional pain under the skin near my shoulder with no visible rashes or itching. Since my Vitamin B12 level is normal, what medications or topical treatments can help relieve these symptoms?

Since your B12 is normal, this prickling sensation and pain may be due to localised nerve irritation. For direct relief, over-the-counter topical treatments like lidocaine patches or capsaicin cream can help desensitise the area. If the discomfort persists, a doctor might prescribe oral medications specifically designed for nerve pain, such as gabapentin or pregabalin. It is also a good idea to have your neck and shoulder evaluated to rule out a pinched nerve. Rest assured, these symptoms are very common and highly manageable. Please consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.
