A member asked:
My skin feels like it's burning and only on my hips and upper thighs why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 likely suspects: Two most likely causes: first, irritated/pinched sensory nerve (lateral femoral cutaneous) in each leg, which may be easily injured by tight or overstuffed pants pockets (or diabetes). The other frequent possibility involves hip joint problems, such as arthritis or bursitis.
