Pain on outer thigh of one leg when touched. Gives an itchy feeling and when scratched it feels as if scratched a wound. No spots or lumps. No redness. Feels a little hard as compared to the other thigh. It happened 2 years back and the affected area has increased. Got few tests done but the doctor was unable to diagnose it. No pain while walking as such it is onlt felt when touched or scratched. Have Diabetes and obesity.
