Sometimes, an electric-shock–like sensation and itching in the legs and feet can be due to nerve irritation or mild nerve sensitivity.

🩺 Possible Causes

• Nerve irritation or mild neuropathy: This can cause tingling or electric sensations, sometimes linked to growth or minor nerve compression.
• Dry skin or eczema: Itching with tingling might be related to skin conditions.
• Vitamin deficiencies: Low levels of certain vitamins like B12 can cause nerve symptoms, though less common in children.

🩺 What You Can Do

• Keep the skin moisturized to reduce itching.
• Observe if symptoms worsen, spread, or are accompanied by weakness or pain.
• Ensure a balanced diet with adequate vitamins.

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

• If the sensations become frequent, severe, or affect walking.
• If there is weakness, numbness, or skin changes.
• For a thorough evaluation by a pediatric neurologist to rule out nerve or other causes.

Consult a pediatric neurologist for a detailed assessment and appropriate management.
