What Causes Itchy Rash On The Back Along With Raised Welts?
i developed a rash around the right side of the back around the kidney area. The rash is about 7x2 cm in size. it appeared 2nights ago and was a little itchy. the red welts were a little raised and not joined. It seems fine now however still there so i was just concerned what it could have started as. Thanks
As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rash on the back along with raised welts which seems to be due to contact dermatitis which could be due to detergent, soap, environmental factors.
I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe mild corticosteroid ointment along with proper antibiotic course. As of now apply cold compresses and avoid any cosmetic product. Apply calamine lotion at back and avoid pricking rashes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
