This could be allergic reactions to unknown substances, skin hypersensitivity, eczema, dermatitis or insect/bug bites.
Do you notice the lesions trigerred in response to a specific stimulus like sun exposure, some substance related to your work place?
You should try to keep the area dry and clean. Try some powder to absorb the sweat.
Apply calamine lotion at the site and take some oral antihistamine medications like loratadine or cetrizine for your complaints. You should wash all your linen and bed clothing once in an antibacterial solution and sun dry it.
If the symptoms are still persistent, consult your dermatologist and get a proper clinical evaluation done.
