Shoulder things :(

I've mentioned my shoulder in a previous post - I've written about how I probably pulled or pinched a muscle or nerve. The radiating pain has more or less receded, my my shoulder blade will still flare up with pain sometimes. And today, it started itching. I want to say it's a rash, because it's painful and itchy at the same time like one, and when I scratch it there's this strange disconnect - almost like the skin is numb or very thick and leathery. Either way, not all the sensation's there, but there's a dull ache there too. I first became aware of the weird feeling of not feeling myself scratch my injured shoulder when I first realized I injured myself. But this rash-like symptom only came to notice this evening, which is really concerning. I've also discovered a very continuous and straight bump going from my right shoulder to the bottom of my neck, almost completely horizontally across. And then there's a smaller one of those things closer to the outside of my arm.

I looked up the symptoms and either I have a dislocated shoulder (honestly though, on bad days it feels dislocated but slightly less painful), contact dermatitis, allergies, or (the worst), scabies. I really hope it's not scabies or anything related to an infestation of bug/fungi. Because that would be gross.

I've been putting off getting it checked out at the clinic for a while now, but if the rash-thing persists I'll have to go in.

I've never had medical problems before, someone please make it stop :(
