Hi, Answer! Yes, it can:
"Dermatologic
Common (1% to 10%): Skin condition, hyperhidrosis, pruritus, skin rash"
"Burning, crawling, itching, numbness, prickling, "pins and needles", or tingling feelings"
These side effects generally resolve over a period of days to weeks, but should be reported to your doctor.

This isn’t really a known side effect of trazodone. It could be an allergic reaction but those usually present shortly after the first dose. Any other medications your taking or any new life style changes?
