Look up symptoms for bed bugs, scabies, and morgellons, and see if you think any of those sound like what you have.
Change sheets frequently and wear clothes only once and wash in hot water.  Try cetirizine hydrochloride 10 mg/day for itching.

Hello,
It could have been due to sweat dermatitis. The main treatment for sweat dermatitis is prevention. The best thing to consider is to prevent that portion of the body from sweating like by wearing light and cotton clothes,taking cool refreshing baths,maintaining the temperature in your homes and cars and avoiding strenuous activities.

If however sweat dermatitis occurs,then apply mild corticosteroid creams like dermacort or hydrocortisone or calamine lotion on the rashes.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

It kind of looks like a bacterial kind of rash to me.  Have you visited a tanning bed or anything like that?  You could try neem soap (unless you are trying to get pregnant - bad for fetuses), or tea tree oil soap.  Or get the pure oils and apply to the areas.  It could also be a food sensitivity or problem with your intestines where they are not absorbing and getting vitamin deficiencies.  Digestion is linked to the skin.
