Hi,
It seems that you may be having prurigo simplex. There may be itchy papular eruptions on back,legs and buttocks. There may be some cause. The cause may be some allergens or irritants. Consult dermatologist. He may prescribe steroid tab in tappering dose and antihistaminics like levocetirizine. Apply steroid cream. Avoid suspected irritants or allergens. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
