Hi
Your symptoms are suggestive of nerve compression of lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh which we call medically meralgia paresthetica.my advice would be wear loose undergarments and avoid tight clothing.
Meanwhile you can take drugs like gabapentin, pregablin under medical guidance.
Wish you good health.do come back.
