What Causes Itchy Dark Scars On The Back With Pain?

I have dark scars/spots in a circle motion with a very dark spot on my left side of my upper back that also is very itchy its aches and sometimes feel like it burning and feels like it gets a tight pulling feeling too. I have had such a bad back ache for two days where I had to take pain pills. I also noticed a dark bump and dark spot that has moved to the middle of my back now. Today I found one blister bump on my back in the middle top part of my back.

Hello,

I have gone through your query and it seems to be fixed drug eruption. It is a drug rash very commonly seen with antibiotics and pain killers.

I would recommend you to consult your doctor and change the pain killers.

Also, apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once daily for a few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
