Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but they can be clogged glands, heat rash or folliculitis. The best way to prevent them is to avoid treating your skin with excessively harsh chemicals and to limit sun exposure. Also use good quality cosmetics and exfoliate your skin regularly. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
