Hi,
This could be allergic
reactions
Allergic reactions to medication
Dermatitis, reaction to tinea
Drug allergies
Febrile/cold agglutinins
Insect bite reaction - close-up
Intradermal allergy test reactions
Positive reaction to allergen
Transfusion reaction
Allergic reactions
to unknown
substances
Drug abuse
, skin hypersensitivity, eczema, dermatitis or sun rash.
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 for your complaints.
If the symptoms are still persistent, consult your dermatologist and get a proper clinical evaluation done.
Let us know if you have any doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.
Good luck.
