Hello,
It can be due to folliculitis or heat rash. During exercising, wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
