I've been dealing with these red bumps and itching along the sides of my waist for over a year now. The doctor gave me some medicine to take and told me to use Tenovate cream until it cleared up. But as soon as I stop using the cream, the problem comes back within just a couple of days. It's leaving dark spots and making my waist look kind of ugly.
