I went hiking in the Everglades on Saturday. It was pretty hot. I got bit by a ton of mosquitos on my back. The following day on Sunday, I started to have pins and needles sensation on my back. It hurt! It wasn't constant, but it was triggered a few times a day. I noticed that it was triggered when I stepped outside to the hot humid summer air.
Ever since Sunday, it's been more or less the same. Again it's not constant, but 3-4 times a days pins and needles on my back (now feeling it on my chest too). I look at my skin and it doesn't seem like there is a rash or anything there.
Also, this is my first summer here in Miami since moving here in January. I have noticed that it gets triggered when I step outside from the AC into the Miami heat.
Hard to say. There's usually a visible rash or blisters. Prickly heat often occurs in moist areas where skin folds; groin, armpits, etc or where clothing rubs. Call your GP or a dermatologist.
If you could show us a good clear photo of the irritation then we might be able to give you a good clear guess.
Or maybe see a doctor or even better a dermatologist for an exact evaluation and a cure.
Pins and needle feelings....https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/art...25404#shingles
When you look at my skin you really don't see any rash or bumps. TBH I think it's just a heat rash/prickly heat. It literally would start to act up when I would go outside in the heat.
Today, it is significantly less present. I got a little bit of it, this morning when I went outside, but it was maybe 25% of what it has been the past few days. It actually wasn't painful just mild itichiness, but no pain. I am going to see how the rest of the day goes. Hopefully this is a sign it's going away. If it still persists after today, I will see a doctor.
I am pretty sure it's prickly heat, first Miami summer I experience and I have am pretty active outside every day, and this past weekend I was super super super active outside and in the heat all day every day this weekend, which is when it soon started.
Perhaps it could be an allergy to whatever you were hiking thru. You should see a Doctor about it because it could be something serious like shingles or poison ivy.

Both of which would probably have resolved on their own without treatment by now...more than 3 months later.
