Skin Rashed on back

I have a skin rash on back. when I touch it becomes reddish boil. Sometimes it has gone and sometimes it is appearing. it seems periodically appearing 1 time in one month.
It has been around 4 years. initially it looks like just peeling the skin. day by day it increases the size also and sometimes I feel itchy but not always once in a month I can say. its not that much irritated but I would like to know what kind of skin disease is this.....please suggest me, I will try to upload photo....

The recurrence suggest Herpes simplex-Type-1, though rare in this location.

Perhaps the solution is to get to confirm the diagnosis, and perhaps a course of suppressive therapy with Acyclovir,if so.Do consult your doc.
