What Causes Heat Surge In Upper Thigh?

I am getting a heat surge in upper left thigh. It just started happening in the last few days. The heat is internal and the area does not feel warm when I touch my skin. Seems to be happening whether i am sitting or standing. Any ideas of why this is happening? Not painful just a strange feeling. Thank you ann

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The cause of the burning sensation of the thigh can be meralgia paresthetica.
It is is pain or warmth in the outer thigh due to compression of the nerve.
If the symptoms continue, you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
