The nerve that governs the movement and sensation of inner thigh is the obturator nerve.
If this obturator nerve does not function properly, it can cause abnormal feeling in the inner thigh.

There are two specific causes.

This lumbar plexus can be entrapped by the iliopsoas muscle and it can cause an abnormal feeling on the inner thigh.

2) The problem of the obturator muscle that wraps the obturator foramen.
-Obturator nerve pass through the obturator foramen and there is the obturator muscle near the obturator foramen. If the obturator muscle entrap the obturator nerve, it can cause the same problem.
