Brief Answer:
allergic rash

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.
It looks like an allergic rash, it may be due to some new cloth, perfumes, powder, excessive sweating etc.
You can try emollient like aloderm lotion or nivea cream along with some antiallergic like cetrizine.
Hope I have helped you.

If you have further queries please get back.
