What Causes Itchiness In The Waist And Lower Back?
I have a strong itch around the waist line with most located at the lower back area, like a belt around torso. It lasts several days now , sometimes calms down and then again, waking me up at night. There is no rush on the skin or blisters. And no pain, just a crazy itch.

Hello,
It could be due to superficial fungal infection.
As a first line management, you can try topical antifungal like Clotrimazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
