What Causes Numbness On A Small Region In Left Leg?
Hi, I m 28. A small region on my left leg is senseless, no matter what ever I do...I took a pen and scribbled on the skin and not able to feel anything. I could mark the region where my skin could feel the pen and where I could not. Please tell me what I need to do.
