It could be some kind of heat rash.
It can develop when the sweat ducts become blocked and swell and often leads to discomfort and itching.  Heat rash is most common in babies,  but may affect adults in hot, humid climates.

Calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream may be used with your health professional's approval.

Contact your health professional for a correct diagnosis.
