Cold/Wet Feeling on an area on my leg

[MeggyE]

I have no idea where to post this question of mine.  

Often times I have found myself trying to dry off my left leg below the knee because I thought I felt my leg get wet.  It is so annoying!!! There is nothing I could see on my leg and every brush I do, my hand ends up being dry, not wet.  What could be the possible cause of this???

I thought about posting in the Neurology forum as well as skin-ology.  I thought it might be possible it had something to do with nerves in my leg that's causing this wet feeling.

Thanks,

Me

I am getting this too. I had knee surgery 10 days ago and sometimes I think my incision is bleed or I spilled water on it but when I check my steri strips are bone dry.

This is parestesia. It is a nerve disease. I have since last 10 years. There is no cure. I am taking gabapentin. This  is for nerve pain. Neurologist can confirm the diagnosis and the treatment.It is lifetime disease. I am 87.I will be happy if some one comes with the solution of this problem.Usually doctors say the pathology of the disease is not known.

September 2017 - experiencing same symptom on both legs between knees and ankle. When googled, an article appeared on how this is a common anxiety-related symptom. It may not be the same for all of us, but for some of us.

I have the same thing. About 2 weeks now, but also it feels like my leg is asleep and just buzzing like crazy. No pain. Can anyone help???

Okay it is 2017 and it just started yesterday. I looked up wet cold feeling on right leg and it brought me here. I am amazed at how many are on here with the same. Anyone have any luck at all?

Today is July 10 2017 I have the same wet feeling in my ankles but when I feel my pant leg and ankles they are dry. Did you find anything out? Did it go away? ***@****

Don't have answers, just the same symptoms. I had right shoulder rotator cuff surgery in April 2016 (it's now Nov). Ever since then, I have had that cold, wet sensation mostly on my upper arm (surgery-side) but also sometimes on head, upper legs (one or the other or both), etc. Pretty consistently on upper arm. I keep waiting for it to just GO AWAY.

(Coincidently - or not - I also experienced a long (5 mo) bout of skin rash/itching/excessive-dryness/pins&needles which did eventually end. But with that came some actual wetness on backs of legs/upper arms. Related? If not, fine. I just need to figure out this upper right arm cool/wet sensation.)

Making me crazy.

Two years ago I was having the wet legs feeling right above my knees simultaneously. It went away after a month or two. Recently it started on my right arm, between my wrist and elbow when I swallow hot food or a hot drink. It lasts 10 seconds and returns with every swallow! Strangest thing I've ever felt!

Hi, I have strange feeling of wet if something touches my leg below the knee. I kept thinking my dressing gown was wet where it was touching. I have a numb and painful foot and lower leg which has shown as a herniated disc on a recent MRI scan.  I also have severe stenosis...this has been getting worse over the past 3 and a half years, when surgery back then was ruled out. I am due to go and see a surgeon again in the near future.

I also have severe spinal stenosis and I just recently started to get this sensation in my lower right leg by my ankle.  I have neuropathy in that leg also.
