Could it be eczema? Bella had a bout of it around a month ago (first time). It started only on her lower back, and then spread all down her legs. No temperature, no irritability, but scratching a bit. We called and the on-call nurse said the same thing - don't put anything on it and wait a few days. When we finally walked in, the pediatrician took one look and said "It's most definitely eczema", gave us the steroid cream and in two days, it was all gone.
