Suggest Treatment For Itchy Shoulder Blade With Shortness Of Breath

I have this itchy sensation in my right back shoulder blade. I scratch it and it hurts when I do. Also it goes through my rib cage and to my right lung. I have shortness of breath and its starting to hurt my whole right side. About 2 days about I felt something in that area like rupture. ( like popping a pimple) but inside and now my left lung is hurting. What should I do?
