Is there a disease/mental disorder in which one doesn't have a normal perception of the skin/body?

one cannot fell well(as one normally does) when touching oneself or does not perceive pain or any other action( like grabbing the hand or scratching a cheek) as usual. Somehow the peception is vague.For example: when scratching an eye one can fell the pression, the heat of the hand and the fact that the itching is gone , but one cannot fell clear the touching. Can it be a reaction to some medicine(like medicines for o cold)?or can it be caused by a poor mental state like depression, stress or tiredness?

There are many diagnoses for conditions like this. Is this something that has come on suddenly or has it been a life-long condition? It would have to be looked at by an expert. I would advise that you check with your primary physician and he may recommend a neurologist.


Good Luck!
Reply:There are children born like that that can't feel anything. Its called "congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis," referred to as CIPA by the few people who know about it.


Unless you have gotten on new meds lately you could talk to the doctor about it.
