Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.
I have noted your clinical details. Based on this, we need to exclude a diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy, affecting the sensory nerves located in the skin. This can be confirmed by doing nerve conduction studies.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
