Burning under skin
I have a place at the top of my leg that has a burning sensation under the skin that comes and goes. What could this be?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
A localized burning can be due to deep vein thrombosis, dry skin, eczema, dermatitis, peripheral neuropathy, pinched nerve etc.
Since I cannot examine you and know other related conditions you may be having, nor is a detailed history possible on net, I have listed the various possibilities that should be looked into. Please consult your PCP to run tests and examination to clinch a diagnosis.
Take care!
