What causes a red and sore spot below the shoulder blade?
Patient: I have a red rough sore spot ( slightly raised) that islocated just below my left shoulder blade above chest.  It appeared about 4 or five days ago is about 1/2 inch in diameter and does not seem to be healing.  Should I be concerned?  I don't know where it came from...no injury.  Seems like it might be infected as it stings when I touch it. Doctor: Hello dear , hiWelcome to Healthcaremagic.comI have evaluated your query thoroughly .*  This seems in relation with possible infected  sebaceous cyst most likely .Must get confirmation with clinical examination or a photo pic attachment isstrongly  recommended .Hope this will help you for sure .Regards .
