What Does Burning Itching Near Breast Indicate?
I have this burning itching feeling just under my left breast near my rib cage. It feels like acid is burning through my skin. Its been there for three weeks. It got so bad that I kept rubbing the skin until it bled. I thougth it was the wire in my bra causing the itching however its not so.

Hello,
The constant burning and itching in the area can be related to a superficial skin infection in the area like fungal infection or herpes. This needs a direct examination by a dermatologist for treatment.
