Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rash on the lower back which could be due to hair follicle infection, bug bite , psoriasis, fungal infection or side effect of medication. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to clean your skin with rashes with mild soap and warm water gently , do not rub your skin , wear loose cloths , stop using any cosmetic or any skin product and take antihistamine like benadryl .I condition doesn't get well or get worse then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation of the condition . Doctor will take history and examine physically , doctor may order skin patch test or blood test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may give adrenaline short , anti viral or anti bacterial medicine depending upon the diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
