What Causes Red Welt And White Spots On The Lower Back?
I have developed a red welt w a few white spots in it on my lower back, on the right side just below my waistline. It is hot to the touch. My muscle below and all around it is so sore i can barely sit. When my hip first started aching this afternoon i thought i must have pulled a muscle and did not know there was a welt there and tried an ice pack. When it quickly kept getting worse i looked in the mirror and found the welt. I am not running a fever. This may be unrelated but has never happened before, I have had pains in my toes today that felt like a needle stab but is not consistant.

Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of red welt and white spots on the lower back. Well, there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in the query like allergic reactions, insect stings, sunlight exposure, side effects of medications and allergy from some common foods nuts, chocolate, fish, tomatoes, eggs, fresh berries, and milk.
I would suggest you avoid trigger factors given above, take over the counter antihistamines like zyrtec and apply cold compresses on welts to reduce inflammation and redness. If the condition doesn't get better then consult a dermatologist for proper examination and start treatment accordingly. Also, keep yourself hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
