    I plugged my phone into charge as it was at 3%. I have been using the phone for about 20 minutes whilst charging and the phone is roasting on the back.

    Is this a common occurrence?

    My phone is almost 11 months old

    As far as I know, it doesn't need fixing.

    Machines get hot when they work harder, being used and charged at the same time.

    Ever touch a laptop adaptor unit whilst charging a laptop?

    You'd think it would start a fire but it's perfectly normal.

    Always advisable not to use products when they're charging, I could be completely wrong but AFAIK it shortens the battery life

    Even now without being on charge it's quite hot. Mainly to the left of where iPhone is written on the back.

    The right hand side of the iphone, as you look at the back is where the battery is housed. The left hand side is were the battery connects and where the Power Management Unit chip is located.
    My guess is that you need to replace the battery first and see if that solves the issue. If not you may well have a short on the logic board which is causing the PMU to overheat.
    Get it looked at.
