What Causes Burning Sensation On Back Near To Rib Cage?
5 days of burning sensation left side of my back just below my rib cage. The area is about 3x3 inches. I also have a smaller spot on my abdomen to the left of my belly button. No redness or rash, painful when clothing touches it. Any ideas of what it could be and a way to get relief?
