Suggest Treatment For Sunburn And Numbness In The Thigh
I am under the care of a neurologist but am experiencing a severe burning pain, similar to a bad sunburn alongside my left outer thigh. I had two injections but they have not helped. My thigh also sometimes feels numb in the same area. Very sensitive to touch.

Hello,
You seem to have neuropathy. This is a condition when a nerve is being affected and is causing pain.
There are treatments that can help with nerve-related pain. In this case, gabapentin or carbamazepine can be tried. You may need to talk to your doctor related to these treatments for nerve pain and decide together which would be the best in your case.
I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
General and Family Physician
