What Causes Severe Itchiness And Burning Sensation In The Shoulder?

I have been experiencing for about 4 months now a burning, itching sensation over the skin of my right scapulae area. It is becoming more pronounced. there are no markings on the skin or any other pain/injury to any of the shoulder joint. The burning and itching is constant. Could this be gallbladder referred sensation?
