Hi
Do you have any history of allergies?
You have described the rash to be similar to a sunburn , thus I would picture this as a reddish rash. The rash is also elevated. You have not mentioned of any itchiness which may decrease the likelihood of a fungal infection and dermatitic skin conditions. History of atopic conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis and known allergic reaction may suggest that this could be allergic in nature. Actually a red rash is very nonspecific. Other factors such as a viral infection and even autoimmune diseases may be considered here.

Hi
What triggers the rash? Is the rash triggered by sweat or strenuous exercises?
This must be a case of sweat rash or miliaria. This may not be something you should worry about. Miliaria is due to blockage of the pores with bacteria or dead skin. This may not be something which would present with symptoms ( as in the mild form) or it may be severe enough to cause discomfort.
