I'm dealing with an itching issue on my lower back that's been going on for about 2 months now, and I've also noticed some rashes in that area. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing this and what I can do to alleviate it. Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin condition such as contact dermatitis or eczema. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
