The skin on the back of my leg from the top to the knee is so sensitive to the touch- no rash, just a weird feeling , like a rug burn. Any ideas as to what this is?

sensitive skin
I have an area on the top of my leg in the front that feels like a sunburn when touched. There is no redness or swelling just that strange feeling. Is that stress related?
