Hello,

I can understand your concern for the sensitive skin in stomach and back. You have not enumerated for how long you have this or sensitive skin in stomach and back and any associated systemic problem like hypertension or increased blood sugar along with your age.

In your kind of cases of females it is most often seen due to deficiency of vitamin B 12 also known as cyanocobalamine and related deficiency states. It is also common if you are not consuming any green vegetable or have alcohol intake as it hampers with the absorption of the vitamin B complex.

In my patients I generally go for the profile of vitamin B 12 and then give this vitamin for 3 months of period-For over sensitivity you can take oral anti histamine for itching like loratadine or levocetrizine under medical advice.

All the best.
