What Causes An Itchy Rash Below The Belly Button?

About 4 months ago a small welt/rash/scab developed just below my belly button. It's slightly smaller than a dime and itches like crazy. After a month, I swear it went away and I completely forgot about it, THEN it came back and has been itching ever since. I started putting Targets anti-itch cream on it and it ALMOST went away(the itching - it went from red to light pink), but then came back AGAIN. In addition to that, about a month and a half ago, the side of my neck started to itch. There's no welt/scab, just dry skin, but it itches in conjunction with the other one. Thing is, I DO NOT scratch them at all. I MIGHT run my hand over them to relieve it slightly, but I almost always just put the anti-itch cream on, and it's not as bad. There are no other areas on my body where this is happening. One itchy welt under my belly button and one area on my neck. What is this?! And how does it almost go away and then come back again?!
