Bumps on back confused need help

i need help desperately the past couple weeks i been noticing these small red bumps on my back and i dont know where they are coming from.

There small and red and usually accompanied with dark spots after they go away. they started as one or two on my shoulder area but has grown to more numbers and started to appear on my lower back now and my shoulders no longer have them. I dont know where they are coming from and what to do

I have never had skin problems ( except for a rash under my armpits from deodarant ) nor have i ever been alregic to anything so y this is happening is a mystery to me.

Not sure if this is related also but also when i take showers occasionnally my skin itches like crazy and it takes like 5 min before it stops and no amount of itching will make it stop. This happens mostly around my legs and arms.

I went to  a dermatologist before and he said it might be acne and gave me some cream to put on it but i see no results from that cream so im not sure what else to do.

Hopin someone on here had something similar or knows of a remedy that might work

if u need more info from me dont hesitate to ask

gonna post some pics so that yall can see exactly what i talking about

Hi,

This sounds like a heat rash or milaria , though nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.

'Miliaria (miliaria rubra, sweat rash or prickly heat) is a skin disease marked by small and itchy rashes. Miliaria is a common ailment in hot and humid conditions, such as in the tropics and during the summer season. '

'The prevention and treatment of miliaria primarily consists of controlling heat and humidity so that sweating is not stimulated. Measures may involve treating a febrile illness; removing occlusive clothing; limiting activity; providing air conditioning; or, as a last resort, having the patient move to a cooler climate.'

You could read more about the condition at the following links -

Let us know if you need any other information and post us about how you are doing.

Regards.
