A member asked:

My skin feels very tender and sensitive, almost as if it were burned. the slightest touch is uncomfortable. what is this and what can i do to fix it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More info please: Is the skin red, swollen, hot (or cold?). Is there a rash? Is there any weakness: have you had an injury to this area recently. Is the area on a limb or your trunk? Too many unknowns to answer your question satisfactorily.
