Stinging burning patch on thigh. Any ideas?

[MrsLouisTomlinson]

Obviously I'll see the GP if it persists but I was wondering if you all had any ideas what this could be and if it sounds concerning.

On my right upper thigh I have a patch of skin that has developed a stinging burning sensation. It feels like it's sunburnt and is super sensitive to touch and clothes. There is no rash or visual skin changes that I can see but it's getting really quite painful.

Anyone got any ideas?

No idea but watching with interest as I had this on the top of my foot a few months ago and it was agony, then eventually went on its own.
Hope yours clears up OP, or someone suggests what it could be

My stinging/burning pain on my upper breast has been diagnosed as neuropathic pain. The stinging is common apparentky in this sort of pain

Outer thigh? Meralgia paraesthetica?

[Milliways]

Yep, agree with Meralgia Paraestherica. I get this, and also patches on my lower legs that get really painful then just disappear.
I was given an MRI to check no compression in hip/spine as have had several hip surgeries, but it is basically a functional nerve pain.

Hmmm, I've had a quick Google and that could fit although it is inner thigh also. Think I will make a docs appointment of it doesn't settle on its own in the next day or two. Thank you.
