[COOKIE MONSTER]

hi my back has been itchi and hot for aweek or so maybe bit longer its bin acheing for a lot longer than anything else though.but I thought the itching and being hot was mybra irratating it so I got sum new 1s [ive not changed my soap or shower gel or shampoo or deoderant or anything] and I was just in the bath and washing myback and found apatch on myback that is completley NUMB [i mean I've got long sharp nails that cut selotape] and I pinched the patch were its numb and left nail marks and [[didnt even feel it]] theirs no freckles,lumps,spots,moles or anything their its not adifferent colour [well its red because I pinched n poked at it]it seams to be really hot as well like its burning and hotter than the rest of myback and body,its right near myspine as well,I've suffered with back aches a lot I had MRI in 2005 and the x-ray showed spine abiffida oculta [most people who have it never suffer with it and don't no that they've even got it] I just happened to be the 1 who did suffer to the piont were I couldn't put mynickers on I was on so many painkillers I was a zombie id fall asleep when in the middle of aconversation or out having dinner but when I got pregnant with my first son he seemed to sort it out had no back ache during pregnancy well abit at the end but everyone gets that and I've had back ache the last few weeks now but thought it would pass like it usually does but its not and now theirs the numb patch it could have been their awhile I'm not sure but its about a 3inch patch all the way round.plus I don't go out in the sun that often we don't go very well together I think I've had bad sun burn on my back about 3 or 4 times in the last 10years

has anybody got any ideas what the numb patch could be? Because I'm abit worried now as its near myspine and mypast back problems aswel

I would see your doctor. The itchiness, back pain and aching back may be a pinched or damaged nerve, or something else entirely.
