Hi Theerickstur, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
Do you have backache? What is your Height and weight? Your History suggests you have a Prolapsed disc or Disc bulge which is causing nerve compression of the nerves coming out from the spinal cord leading to numbness and Pruritus. Kindle get a X ray done of your Lower back spine after consulting a Orthopedist and get yourself examined thoroughly. Give yourself some rest and if you smoke, quit.
Hello theerickstur
Welcome to health care magic forum
It is due to either compression or damage of nerve supplying that part of skin.So consult good neurologist & get it investigated & treated.
Wish you good health
