For 2 months, I have had a red, itchy rash that appeared on my side, and other ones have appeared since. What could this be?

Based on the description provided, it is possible that the symptoms could be attributed to a condition called Pityriasis rosea. This is a viral infection that typically starts with a single slightly raised circular patch on the skin, followed by smaller patches appearing on the body. Pityriasis rosea usually resolves on its own within 3 months. If the itching is bothersome, a cortisone cream available at pharmacies can be applied.
