What Causes Burning Pain On The Left Side Of The Chest?
Is there such a thing as internal shingles? I have an area on the left side of my chest that has a sun burn sensation when you touch it. There is no serious pain, just a tingling when in contact with cloth or I run my hand across it. Has been like this for over 14 days not gotten any worse or better. I have received my shingles vaccination a couple years ago.Also there is no rash or symptoms on the out side of the skin.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. No there is no internal shingles. No need to worry for major skin or internal organs (lung or heart) related diseases. In my opinion this is just superficial damage to nerves which is causing these sensations. Nerves usually repair by themselves. So just apply ice on that area and you will be alright within 1-2 weeks. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
