Hot or Cold Skin
Depending on the part of the body affected by paresthesia, the condition may cause limbs to feel either hot or cold. Although this symptom usually only occurs in the affected area, it may radiate outward. These sensations may or may not cause discomfort.
Temperature extremes can aggravate paresthesia. So, if the sensation affects daily life, ensuring limbs are warmed up if they're cold or cooled down if they're hot can alleviate some discomfort.3‘Exclusive Content.’ News, www.msfocusmagazine.org/Magazine/Magazine-Items/13-Points-about-Paresthesia
