Splinter sensation in finger

Yes, it disappeared after almost a month, as mentioned in my last post. Still don't know what it was. One coincidental event I forgot to mention is stopping multivitamins, which had 100% B6 per serving. My B6 blood level was already above range at ~35ng/mL. Both this and the lower-than-ideal B12 blood level (near 400 pg/mL) made me wonder if it was nerve-related, but doctors didn't think it was due to general lack of numbness/tingling/etc. My omega 3 and ferritin were also slightly below range, and iron/saturation above. I assume my switch from vegan back to pescetarianism shortly after the symptom appeared has been shifting all of these levels back toward normal. Whether any of these were at least partly related to the finger symptom, I'll probably never know.

@cmx wow, I am experiencing same thing exactly. Mine is right ring finger pad, slightly to right side/or my left if looking at pad/palm. I thought it was splinter, but it's been 2 weeks. I forget about it then am sharply reminded anytime something just brushes against my pad. I do have vitamin d deficiency and am taking vitamins for it past few weeks, wonder if it's from taking too many vitamins? Or deficiency? I'm 39. And overweight male, 270lbs. I work nights so I sleep during day( probably why vitamin d is so low). It's just the craziest sensation. Like fiberglass in the pad but nothing is there. I have felt similar stuff with eczema that pops up on my knuckles from time to time so I tried putting prescription cream on it TRIAMCINOLONE, which didn't help. Hope mine just goes away too but it is very odd and uncomfortable 😣. Sorry if any misspelling. At work on phone
