What Causes Itching Sensation Under Rib Cage And Burning In The Middle Of Chest?

I ve been having an itching sensation under my ribcage that comes and goes and its currently going on for over an hour. There s also a burning in the middle of my chest as well and a cramp/stabbing pain that comes and goes from moderate to severe. Note I am just 22 yrs old but have been having these symptoms ever since I was a little girl. I ve been to a few doctors but none has made a diagnosis. Please help

It can be due to some fungal infection for which you can take antibiotics like cefadroxyl or zifi-cv after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or Avil itching or rashes. Apply clonet or perlice lotion locally over the affected area. You can take steroids if not improved with above treatment.
