Question

Asked for Male, 41 Years

Recently my chest is itching (around chest, sometimes around in nipple area) on & off but its very mild. Sometimes in both chest sometime in either chest. Sometimes Have mild pain in either chest and There is no rashes. Is this because of acid reflux??? I have acidity problem in my health history. Recently took fried items at evening for morethan 25 days After meal only itching is starting like fried items but its very very mild. I am confused whether its from acid reclux or skin problem.
