Itching and burning nerve rash
This past Sunday, I experienced itching on my lower back accompanied by a burning and painful nerve type pain extended to my side. I asked my wife to check my back for a rash but she didn't see a rash. Tonight, I complained about the same burning pain. When my wife looked at my back to apply pain cream she noticed a redish rash. However, although there is a burning pain extending from my back to my side, and ending at my stomach there isn't a rash on my side or stomach.
