What Can Be The Cause Of Rashes Along My Lumbar Spine ?
I have just recently notice rashes along my lumbar spine & right antereior lower ribs areas & just below my sternum. These rashes are raised bumps, red but not really that itchy. I started to notice them last week & they have gotten a lot more noticable. What is the possible cause? Food alergy?

Hi,
I completely understand your concern and I hope I am able to help you for the same.
These lesions can be allergic in the form of seborrheic eczema or they can be pityriasis rosea.
Treatment for both of these is in the form of topical application of steroids.
Take oral antihistamines for itching.
You need assessment by a dermatologist for proper guidance and treatment.
Hope it helps
Best wishes for a speedy recovery
