Your lesion would require medical history, visualization and possible testing to be able to provide an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan.

A common cause of chronic rash on the back is a fungal infection called tinea versicolor. The cases I've seen had only mild itching. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment and follow-up
