What Causes Sensitive Skin On Chest, Rib Cage And Abdomen?
I am 63 years of age. relatively healthy man. I have a sensitive skin problem on my right side. The left side of my chest, rib cage, abdomen, and part of my back. It hurts to slide a shirt over it. Initial contact hurts but I can lay on that side in bed without too much discomfort. I have had a shingles vaccine about three years ago. Any ideas?
