hi,
what did the doctor tell you they were? what medication was prescribed?
It appears that what you describe is a condition called miliaria crystallina. They are the most superficial obstruction (with the most mild clinical presentation); instead of a rash the patient presents with multiple tiny blister-like lesions that look like beads of perspiration.
This can be prevented by avoiding activities that induce sweating, using air conditioning to cool the environment, wearing light clothing and in general, avoiding hot and humid weather. Frequent showering may also help.
Medical assistance should be sought for the first episode of a rash with the appearance of miliaria. The differential diagnosis includes several conditions which an experienced practitioner should be able to recognise and may require treatment distinct from the usual measures taken for miliaria. In most cases the rash of miliaria will resolve without intervention. However, severe cases can last for a number of weeks and cause significant disability. General measures should be recommended for all patients, including moving to an air-conditioned environment if possible, avoiding sweat-provoking activities and occlusive clothing, and taking frequent cool showers.
