What Causes Red Raised Itchy Patch On The Back Radiating To The Chest?

i have a rash that started on my back with what I thought was a bite of some sort. It was hard and raised. Two days later I noticed a few more marks. From then on it has kept spreading around that area from the original mark to the front of my chest. The mark are red, raised, lumpy, hard and at times itchy.

Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to comment on it without examination, so I would either suggest you to see doctor for examination and for exact diagnosis or upload the pictures here, I'll go through them, and provide you with specific advice.
Might be contact dermatitis but needs an examination to confirm. Presently was the area with cool water and with dermadew soap.
Hope this helps.
Take care
