That can be lots of things. Acne? Prickly heat? Where on the body?
If this is happening in any area where you shave or wax, stop shaving/waxing immediately. You may have a skin disease that happens when you don't have the beneficial organisms that hair encourages. This can be very hard to get rid of and may need a doctor's help. Most people do not realize how important body hair is to skin health.
If it persists on any part of your body, check with your doctor. There may be some prescription cream that will help.

Sounds like either eczema or scabies, ya might wanna go to the doc about it. I have eczema and the doctor I had confused it with scabies. Eczema tends to rash after you scratch your skin and has a patch of dry skin in the itchy area. Usually worse behind the knees on your legs, arms and hands. Allergy medicine won't help either condition. Do your best not to scratch it because once you do it won't stop itching. If you happen to have eczema I recommend you use oatmeal body wash, aveeno oatmeal lotion, and aveeno shaving cream. Those products are more effective then the elidel i was prescribed. And with scabies.. Take a permanent marker and draw a line through a rash area. Take a cotton ball with alcohol on it and rub over it once. If you see tiny track marks where they borrow under skin that could be the problem. I hope I helped.
