Question : In my chest area, mainly on the right side, I have developed a pain on my skin that is very sensitive to touch. It feels like a raw spot. When I push on it, there does seem to be any pain in depth, but I can't be sure.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain. It doesn’t seem to be specific at this time and I will like that you take a simple pain medication for this. Unless it fails to address the pain fully, there is no need for further medical attention.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
