Itching on the back is most likely caused by an allergic reaction to an allergen, but it may also result from excessive skin dryness or localized moisture and heat, leading to eczema. Fungal infections or acne can also cause itching. It is advisable to visit the dermatology department of a reputable hospital for evaluation. If the itching is allergy-related, consult your physician about treatment with antihistamine medications.
