As a sufferer of PN I sometimes feel a pain that is below the surface of my skin within a minuscule area, about the size of a pinhead. I sometimes wonder if this is the sensation of nerve pain. It is very distressing. By the way, I would like to share my progress while I'm here as I have great news. After 2 weeks of applying Betnovate N and covering the areas with Clingfilm and then stockinette bandages I have finally turned a corner (after over 5 distressing years) I change these every morning after bathing and I go for 6 minutes on a sunbed 3 times a week. I'm also taking a new (to me) Antihistamine called Fexofenadine Hydrochloride 180mg from my GP which is Wonderful! I am now almost totally cured, my skin is clear and I haven't scratched at all in the 2 weeks. Please see your doctor though before trying the clingfilm (its a treatment known as 'Occlusion) as there are issues with too much absorption of the Betnovate N which may have serious side effects. Good Luck.

Bare nerve endings feel what?
Assuming the nerve endings are attached to a living person, bare, exposed, or cut nerve endings relay impulses to the brain that are interpreted as "severe, extreme pain". Nerve pain can include anything from severe burning, aching, throbbing, tingling, crawling, etc. Some people feel "numbness". An exposed nerve fiber in a tissue or nerve specimen sent to a lab doesn't "feel"; we need the attachment to the brain and interpretation of impulses to classify negative or positive sensations. However, nerves in a lab can still carry an impulse, such as an electrical current.
