What Does Cold Sensation On The Calves Indicate?

For two weeks I ve had an occasional sensation on my calf when my pants touch it. It doesn t actually hurt...feels almost cold. Only for a few seconds and at random. My pants legs are not tight so it is not a rubbing. Thinking maybe a sensitive nerve ending??
