experiencing irritation, a frozen feeling, and itching on my legs where I keep my mobile phone in my right pocket

I've been experiencing irritation, a frozen feeling, and itching on my legs where I keep my mobile phone in my right pocket for the past few years. This started when I used a Huawei Nova 3e for four years. Although I switched to an iPhone 13 Pro three years ago, the irritation persists, even though my hair has grown back in that area. I'm worried that this could lead to a skin condition or even skin cancer due to mobile phone radiation.

You will not get skin cancer; over many studies there has been no evidence that cellphone use will lead to cancer or even increase the possibility. But you may suffer damage due to the constant pressure on your leg, or you may be sensitive to the materials used in some phone bodies such as nickel. Talk to your personal physician who may refer you to a dermatologist for further evaluation.
