A member asked:

I have a patch of skin on my right shoulder blade that is tender to the touch (even a bra strap it uncomfortable) i have no other symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Notalgia: A patch of skin with no symptoms, particularly on shoulder blades of women is most likely a condition called notalgia paresthetica. This patch of skin can also be itchy, burning or achy. It is thought to be due to inflammation or irritation of a skin nerve. It is sometimes a challenge to treat but treatments are available. Please talk to your dermatologist.
