Should i worry about numbness in the skin of my upper leg? when rubbing the right side of my right thigh, i feel a strange numbness.

Just Watch it!: Numbness could be due to compression of a nerve along the upper outer part of the thigh and pelvis or it could be secondary to low back issues. If symptoms persist or worsen see an orthopedist.
