What sort of Doctor should I see?

[srowndedbyh2o]

I get a burning sensation on my skin on the front of my legs, mostly on my knees, and a bit on the back of my knees when bending or kneeling. I had originally thought it was a skin issue, but when I mentioned it to a dermatologist, she said it wasn’t a skin issue but rather a nerve issue. I mentioned I had a lower back injury many years ago, and she said “there you go”. I don’t have any tingling or swelling, and I’ve never had any signs of diabetes. So my question is; What sort of doctor do I see for this? Any specific hospital/Doctor you would recommend? I live out in Sisaket, but I’m willing to drive elsewhere if I really need to. I’ve been to BKK Hospital in BKK for several other issues over the last few years, so I’m familiar with that hospital, (and it’s not to difficult to get to driving my car) but I hesitate going to BKK Hospital, BKK and just telling the front desk of my symptoms as I don’t want to have a bunch of expensive, unnecessary testing done before they decide which doctor I should actually see.

Thank you very much.

Consider a mild case of shingles as a possibility as well as the back injury related nerve damage but if you want to see a Doctor then a neurologist is the one.

For me I had the same thing but on my back with shingles, no rash, just one or two 'spots' and all sorts of sensitivity to the touch but it started with a sunburn sensation - without sun exposure. I've had sunburn before and it felt exactly the same - just in a small area.
