I'm really curious about what's going on with the left side of my waist. It's been really itchy and irritated for weeks, especially where my pants sit. There are some red bumps that look like a rash, but it doesn't hurt, just itches a lot! It's only in one small area about the size of an orange. I'm pretty sure it's not Shingles because I'm not in pain. And I do have allergies sometimes. What could this be?
