Pins and needles during exercise?

I commonly feel a pins and needles sensation when I begin to sweat. This happens daily and generally subsides within 15 to 20 minutes, depending on temperature. It also occurs when a stress response is triggered--seems to coincide with initial sweating. I don't sweat a lot. It's almost as if the sweat has little knives and it's carving its way out of me. This sensation has only presented post COVID. Is there a correlation? More importantly, is there a way to alleviate or stop this phenomena?
