Question 1

i have a sharp stinging sensation on the skin at the back of my right knee. the pain feels like a bite, but there are no marks or rednesses and the pain feels like a small shock and is intermittent regardless of position of the leg (standing/sitting?

Accepted Answer

: With your excellent description ,at this time I suspect that there is an irritable/mildly inflamed superficial nerve that will eventually quiet down. If you still have concerns, see your MD or a neurologist for evaluation and advice.

Question 2

burning/ stinging red spot appeared on leg all of a sudden. the skin is peeling off and its moist when i touch it. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Drug reaction?: It's very hard to say without more information. But if you're taking any medications, and especially if you started a new drug recently, this sounds typical for a fixed drug eruption. FDEs are sharply localized rashes due to drug allergy. The appearance is often much like a burn, which seems to fit with your description. Some drugs are especially likely to cause it, including certain antibiotics.

Question 3

fever aches,hole body.nofever for 3 days. especially the legs.now the skin on the back my thighs begin sting & burn. worse by tuching like the clothes?

Accepted Answer

Influenza?: Influenza is a viral infection that produces fever, achy joints, sensitive skin, headache, fatigue, sore throat, cough, and occassionally diarrhea.  It can be diagnosed by a nasal swab performed in a general practitioners office.

Question 4

i was kicked in the side of my left knee, but i feel tingling and the feeling that my leg and foot go to sleep. also when i put ice pack on it (not directly on skin) it feels like a stinging sensation. could this be a bad tear in my meniscus?

Accepted Answer

: When ice is first applied a “stinging” sensation not unusual. After 2minutes sensation should subside. And if placing over a superficial nerve.

Question 5

very itchy skin feels like stings and they look like tiny pimples red and turn brown after itched all over my body everywhere chest stomach hands legs?

Accepted Answer

Need eval: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination &amp; other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes.

Question 6

a clear liquid filled sack appeared on my thigh this morning. it accidentally popped and appeared to be under a very thin layer of skin. it is now red and stings. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Blister?: Sounds like a blister, which could have occurred in response to friction on that area of skin yesterday. It stings because that thin layer of skin was protective of the inner layers of the skin, which are now exposed and very sensitive. If you start getting more of those blisters, though, go see a doctor immediately. If it's solitary and goes away, then should be fine.

Question 7

on my inner thigh n on the side of my vagina i have a rash that is itchy something's burn and sting also have dry skin i can pull off?

Accepted Answer

Fungal infection: Unilateral dermatiis on the inner thigh is probably related to an infection.  You should have it evaluated by your dermatologist.

Question 8

what causes localized sensation of sting in my lower leg ?

Accepted Answer

Skin or Nerve: Stinging sensation is often irritant or nerve related. If you don't have skin changes consistent with allergic reaction then it is likely a nerve problem. It may be nerve impingement or simply electrolyte imbalance that is causing you to experience this pain. Continue exercising and stretching regularly in addition to eating healthy.

Question 9

it feels like a bee stinging my lower right buttock just above my leg?

Accepted Answer

Possible nerve: compression or irritation, usually from the sciatic nerve; however, not usually confined to a small area. The sciatic nerve runs from the buttock area down to the feet- I suggest a medical exam asap.

Question 10

what can cause stinging pain throughout my leg ?feels like its in my bones .

Accepted Answer

Possibly nerve pain: May be a nerve pain. See your doctor for a definitive diagnosis.
