What are these lesion spots on my back? What is my condition.

Hi all,

I am 66 years old female, was hoping you all could help me please and tell me what these red-spotted lesions are on my back, please. They began showing after a course of Vitamin K MK7 for only 4 days, I noticed my back felt itchy on day 1 and stupidly I used a metal pry bar to reach the middle point of my back that I could not reach to scratch. The pry bar was rusty on the tip which I didn't know until I itched my back.

2 days after I noticed these lesions showing on my back and 2 months have now passed, they have not disappeared and more have started to show in areas on my back. I limit my itching but I don't what is going on with my skin. What are these lesions please, coincidently my problems start after the Vitamin K and using the Pry bar, but is this coincidental? I don't know, was hoping if anyone could help me please and guide me in the way to know how to sort this please and what condition I have? so I can research this. I am awaiting my appointment to see a doctor.

So far i have used creams, such as Cerave, Cetraban, tea tree oil cream, and even a steroid FUCIDIN cream, but have had no luck. Its not showing anywhere else on my body except on my back.

Please view the photos below, please.

What do I have, please? Pictures are below.

Thanks

Scabies? You can buy treatment over the counter, might be worth a try.

Bedbugs or scabies maybe

Shingles?

Why are you waiting to see the doctor? Phone after 8am and get an appointment on the day for this. Two months is too long for this to have been going on. Did you really scratch your back with a crow bar? It must have been bad itching for you to resort to that.

Doesn't look like shingles
Bedbugs bite in a line

As it's in a line, is it possible that there's a row of tiny metal splinters in your skin - is it only where you scratched with the metal bar?

Bed bug bites would have healed quickly, and new ones would have appeared all over you.

Best see your GP.

I think scabies, but show a dr.
