Answers:
It could be scabies. See a doctor, it is very contagious.
Scabies is a disorder of the skin caused by very small, wingless insects or mites called the Human Itch mite or Scabies itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The female insect burrows into the skin where she lays 1 to 3 eggs daily. A very small, hard to see, zigzag blister usually marks the trail of the insect as she lays her eggs. Other more obvious symptoms are an intense itching (especially at night) and a red rash that can occur at the area that has been scratched. The most common locations for scabies are on the sides of fingers, between the fingers, on the backs of the hands, on the wrists, heels, elbows, armpits, inner thighs and around the waist (belt line). If untreated, the female will continue to lay eggs for about five weeks. The eggs hatch and the new mites begin the cycle all over again. The mites themselves are too small to be seen without magnification. One of the great problems with scabies always has been misdiagnosis. Scabies is spread by personal contact, e.g., by shaking hands or sleeping together or by close contact with infected articles such as clothing, bedding or towels. It is usually found where people are crowded together or have frequent contact, and is most common among school children, families, roommates, and sexual partners. Scabies can be spread by the insect itself or by the egg. Prompt action is required to rid a person of the insects and eggs. Sulfur has been used (6 - 10% in lotion or cream) since Roman times as a scabicide, but you might be allergic.

Sounds like Hives. Probably allergic to something you ate recently.

check it out it can be HIV that is one of the symptoms
It's very interesting; there are several skin conditions that for some reason occur on the trunk of the body, but never spread to the face!
It's also interesting that this could be SEVERAL different diseases. It's impossible to know what it is based on the info you gave us. The only thing I can tell you with confidence is that it's probably not wise to scratch it!
See a dermatologist - they specialize in diagnosing & treating these problems. Good luck!

from an allergic reaction to even stress. it' better to be safe.
Could be many things..any allergic reaction, hives, scabies, etc. Go see your doctor.
Try oral benadryl, and 1%Hydrocorticone over-the-counter cream. the cream chould clear it up, but if it's a fungal infection, the cream will make it worse, at which point you should get an anti-fungal cream. anti-fungals can be found in yeast infection cream,that's the cheapest way to get large quantities of it.
