What Could Cause A Feeling Of Splinter Being Present In The Diagonal Area Between Right Breast And Belly Button In Man?

I am a male. Diagonally from my right breast to my belly button, my stomach area is sensitive to touch. It feels like there is a needle there when I slightly rub it with my hand. Almost a feeling of having a splinter in you. I ve checked there are no splinters. What could be causing this? I am 44 years old and weigh around 230 lbs. I do not smoke, so not drink, do not do any type of drugs.
