hi,
The recurrent rashes on back can be due to-
- allergy to cosmetics, material of under garment, metals of jewelry, food articles. Needs to avoid the allergen & immediate medical attention in case there is breathing difficulty.
- Sweating & damp condition due to warmth of multilayered clothes.. can lead to fungal infection & itching.- Use of thin cotton clothes/ repeated washing to avoid sweating & anti fungal skin ointment helps.
* The lacerations/ linear marks may follow itching.
Thanks
