Unfortunately its hard to easily nail down whats causing this problem. Odd sensations like numbness, burning, etc. can be caused by nerve damage in that area or by problems with circulation or by an injury. You could have a structural problem thats impinging on the nerve in that area  or a disease thats causing nerve problems (diabetes, neuropathy, etc.). You'll have to see a doctor to find out what the problem is.
