What Causes Recurrent Scabs On The Lumbar Area And Right-sided Leg And Knee Pain?

I have a small linear rash. Much like a scab at the base of my spine. It is about an inch long and 1/16 of an inch wide. It is reoccurring. When it occurs I have pain in my leg, right side just below the knee area. The pain is similar to a muscle cramp, but there is no cramping. It hurts even to touch it.

Hello,
It sounds like you may be having shingles. If so there are medicines that may help with the pain. See your doctor when you have the rash for an opinion.
