Why does the skin on my thighs feel like it’s burning and stinging?

The presence of burning-like tingling sensation on the skin of the thighs must be considered for the presence of shingles. If there are small dots and strips of small herpes on the surface of the thigh, it is considered that the herpes virus of herpes zoster has invaded the skin nerves of the thigh, and burning-like tingling occurs, and localized numbness or radiating pain may also occur. If there is no abnormal localized skin rash, it is possible that there is inflammation of the nerves of the thigh, especially dermal neuritis of the anterolateral thigh, which is a sterile inflammation. It may also be due to a disease of the lumbar spine or hip affecting the nerve roots of the thigh, which may also show abnormal sensation of the nerve of the thigh.
