How Can I Bring Back The Sense Which Is Lost In A Patch Of Skin Above My Knee ?
Morning Doctors, I have a patch of skin above my knee below hips on the right hand side, which has lost the sense of touch. Even when poked with sharp objects i cant feel anything. Can you provide me a solution for this or what the condition is?. ASW 30/M/68.
