Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red and itchy patch around the waist which seems to be due to furuncle or boil. The symptoms you mention in query can also occur due to allergic reaction, side effect of certain medicine and could be fungal infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment and wear loose clothes. You should avoid sharing your clothes with someone and avoid taking anyone's clothes. You should take course of oral antibiotics. Maintain complete hygiene and keep area little dry. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription. Also take over the counter anti histamine like zyrtec .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
