Why is my back burning?

I have a small indentation on my back under my shoulder. It’s on my tattoo so it’s hard to tell what color it is. I’ve had this tattoo for several years, so it’s already healed. Lately it’s been itching like crazy and now it’s burning really bad where the indentation is. I’m worried it could be skin cancer.

If it's itching and burning badly, you should have it looked at- I'd recommend getting into your doctor for them to check on everything.  Let us know how you are doing!
