Sounds like your Macbook Pro has shoddy thermal paste. If it's under AppleCare still perhaps you should bring that to their attention? If not and they want you to pay, it's fairly easy to fix, ifixit should have a guide.

Pfft.

Not especially uncomfortable, but still uncomfortable.
And this is under the condition it's for a brief period.
So, not burning, but still, not the best news. Maybe it's a faulty device?
Except for the fact that many people are complaining of similar issues.
If it was C, that would be close to the temperature of boiling water (about 100C).
Note: I'm not saying that's hot or cold, that's subjective. I'm just making sure we're comparing oranges with oranges.
120F feels hot - I don't want to keep a finger in that spot for very long
