Very itchy bites only near waistline

I have one or two eruptions that are very itchy that look like misquito bites but they are not .  They erupt one or two at a time in the area of my waistline only.  They are extremely itchy.  After a week or so they heal up and leave a mark.  I though maybe I had shingles but these are not ever sore and painful, only very itchy.  After they heal up, I find more in another place near my waistlin. What are they?

I had the exactly the same syptoms.  My doctor diagnosed scabies. Check your inner thighs and wrist.
