Severe Abdominal Pain, Pain In The Ribs And Skin. Could It Be Bug Bite?

I started out with severe abdominal pain upper and lower but worse in the upper left side around ribs no fever. I then started having very bad skin pain near my left ribs and around side. It is painful to the touch even clothes touching it. Last night it felt like something bit me on my left side back area and there was no bug found but it felt like I was stuck with a hot needle over and over very fast. The area is red and raised in several areas but does not look like a bug bite and was not there when the skin pain started. I have not started any new meds or used any new products that come in contact with my skin or eaten anything new.

Hi welcome to Healthcare magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.Forum.
I started with severe abdominal pain, no pain, severe in the left abdomen, around your ribs. last night you felt that some thing bit you on the back. The area is red and raised. You didn't take any new medicine or food.
It appears to be the neurological pain, cause may be herpes infection, latter may proceed to watery rash, followed by neurolgia.
Other possibilities could be gastritis, and utricaria related or not related to the pain.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment, to prevent permanent neurolgia, not relieved even after remision of the rash.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
