Many causes: There could be many causes for this, including Crohn's inflammation in the small intestine, pancreatitis (from a medication for example), gastritis (inflammation of the stomach due to stress or medication or other causes). It could be from other causes even shingles in the skin. More complete information about the symptoms is needed.
