This could be a House episode. Girl comes in with whipped back. House suspects abuse, which turns out to be correct, but the wound is because of Shiitake.

The article says that it was not caused by scratching the itches. But the pattern is exactly like as if he scratched with his nails. Perhaps his back became tender and sensitive due to the mushrooms and scratching created the patterns.
