sensitive skin

I have a small area of skin on my ankle and leg which is really irritating. It feels like a mild burn, but to touch the skin or have clothes rub on it is horrible. The area looks fine. Could this be a type of altered weird sensation?

I would say so. I have a few spots like this on my arm(s), hip, and leg.

The short answer is yes.

I have the same kind of sensation on my arm and face but its a really intense burning if I don't take my pain meds.

In MS it's a central nervous system thing.  Small fibre neuropathy can cause it in a number of other conditions too though.
