What Causes Hypersensitivity Of Skin On Inner Thigh?

Posted on Fri, 22 May 2015

Question: In the last couple days I've noticed a sensation on my inner thigh that feels like a sunburn but there is no redness. It is just on my right leg. It is sensitive to the touch. Any ideas on what could be going on

Brief Answer:
Paraesthesia

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Hypersensitivity of skin can happen without any underlying cause.
This is called as paraesthesia.
It is not sun burn.
I treat such cases with ointment fluticasone and methylcobalamine tablets.
This gives excellent response.
You can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

I google both of those treatment options and I get vitamin B-12 and a cortisol type cream. Is this correct or is there different names for these two. Are they over the counter meds?
I'm inquiring about my follow-up question for the hypersensitivity of my skin on my right leg. You mentioned the two medications, but I couldn't find them. Is there generics or more names for them in layman's terms? Maybe there is an over the counter equivalent

Brief Answer:
B12 and cortisone

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Methylcoblamine is B12 and instead of fluticasone you can use cortisone.
Please go ahead if you find B12 and cortisone.
These should help you.
