Itchy Bumps On My Lower Back Area. What Is Causing This?

Hello, Yes, I have a question about itchy bumps on my lower back area by my tailbone. This started about a year ago or so. The area tingles and then itches and next thing ya know I have several bumps. They eventually scab and go away but what is causing this?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
You could be having fungal infection or eczema which then gets infected after scratching. You may apply soothing Lactocalamine lotion to relieve the itch. Take Cetrizine tablet before sleeping as well to relieve the itching. Show it to your Dermatologist and get proper management for your condition. Avoid sweat accumulation, prolonged sitting in same position, take bath regularly and avoid sun exposure.
