[|Human|] Hello, i am 17 year old male at 140 pounds. I recently started to lose my appetite and the lower left side of my rib cage started to hurt. I have been losing weight and now am at about 137 pounds. I normally eat three good meals a day, but recently i have just lost my appetite. There is a little brown spot on my lower left rib cage and it hurts around that area when touched or if i cough.
