Hello, Welcome and thanks for posting your query to HCM. It appears from your query that you are having fungal infection added with bacterial infection over the affected areas. This is a simple process where firstly fungus makes its entry form map like or ring like areas. If it is not treated in time or due to heat and humidity and over proliferation of the fungus there is growth of bacteria which leads to small red bumps. At his time it is best to consult a skin specialist who can check for the best possible cause and also give the treatment accordingly. For the time being period stay away from hot and humid environment, wear cotton clothes and do not scratch or pinch the affected areas. Hope it helps. with good health wishes, Dr Sanjay K Kanodia MD (Dermatology)
