I have a very itchy (and yes, I scratch) rash/series of rashes primarily on the right side of my torso - from upper chest - above breast to my hip and the top of my thigh. Also goes around to my back to the middle of spine and my entire buttocks. I am morbidly obese and have some skin overlap. It is better when I am cooler - when I change temperature it really starts itching. Skin is dry and flaky with deep red on the outer and paler to inside except when I scratch and then all red and gets damp and off to the races. I do get dishydrotic execema on my feet.
