Toddler With Red Pimply Bumps That Scab; No Fever

My nearly 2-year old son (with a history of eczema) has had odd bumps on his body for a couple of days. They're prominantly on his arms, legs and diaper region. Surrounding the raised pimply bumps that scab are tiny goosebumps. Again, this is all only occurring on his arms, legs and diaper region. I've used Aveeno bath wash, lotion and a light amount of % hydrocortisone, plus bought more fragrance free/dye free laundry detergent. I use Aquaphor, and have dressed him in loose clothing. The condition isn't getting worse, but it doesn't seem to be getting better either. Meanwhile, my son is oblivious. There's no pain, fever, vomiting, or constipation. His appetite, sleep patterns, and overall personality are unchanged. The skin condition might be itchy if it wasn't for all the moisturizing I've been doing.
