A $2 bamboo: Back scratcher works well. Prevent skin on the back from becoming too dry. Believe it or not - most people don't need to soap up their back every time they bath or shower. You can use a gentle soap when you shower - preferably one that has some lotion. Moisturizer applied to back can help.

Notalgia parastetica: You may have a condition known as notalgia parastetica which apparently i caused by impingement of spinal nerves. Best treatment is use of moisturizers like virgin coconut oil.
