Rashes On Back, Butt Cheek, Have Red Itchy Line Coming Down. Buttocks Getting Crusty. Reason?

Seven days ago, a rash started in the middle of my back and on my left butt cheek. At first it looked like a couple of mosquitoe bites but then they got bigger, whelped up and spread. Still within a 2 inch region though. The one on my buttox has a red line now coming down from it. I now have 4 more on my left side and one on my stomach. One of the spots on my side has a red line. They do not hurt but they itch and are not getting better. The one on my buttox is getting crusty. Any ideas what this could be?
