When using a vibrating massager on my back or having the jacuzzi jets on my back makes my back itch so bad and my skin feel numb. Any idea why it causes such an itch ad numb feeling?
Thanks in advance,

This can be the result of additional stimulation of nerve receptors by the increased circulation. As blood vessels and capillaries swell with more oxygenated blood to meet the demand, pressure is exerted on the receptors and the brain mistakenly interprets these signals as itching. This may be limited to one area of the body, such as the thighs, or may involve the entire body. Exercise is noted for being able to similarly increase circulation and has been known to provoke a similar effect in some patients.
As long as you’ve ruled out an actual allergic reaction, you can probably assume it’s this. It does stop happening with increased circulation to an area. Ie more regular massages or exercise.
