Well I am sorry that I can not look at the pic's but it sounds like exama, nothing wrong you can use hydrocortizone 1% cream and this will help to relive the itch and this will also help to clear what ever it is, also clean it with warm water and soap two times a day to keep dirt and bacteria off of it that will make it worse,

I just found out that I have Psoriasis. Guttate Psoriasis to be exact. Mine look exactly like your pictures and they are mostly on my face, neck, arms and legs. I noticed them after they had been there about 3 weeks, just like you. I would go to a dermatologist just to be sure. Mine did a biopsy on one of them on the back of my neck and that's how I knew what it was. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many effective treatments for it. I have been told that they aren't cured but merely controlled. I asked about that injection Embrel, but my doctor said that I'm not a good candidate for that type of treatment but I'm not sure why. I think its because the Embrel is for Plaque Psoriasis. I have an appointment with a new doctor next week.
Definitely go to a doctor right away. Good Luck!

Believe it or not it could just be heat rash. My daughter gets a rash in the same places and the doctor has told me its just heat rash. I would still see a doctor and DONT scratch it , scratching might feel good but only causes more irritation.

The source below discusses many different types of skin rashes. Perhaps you can diagnose yours with the information.

Do you consume anything acidic? Almost looks like a rash from a food related allergy.....
Otherwise you should see a doctor.

Do you think it might be scabies? Does it itch particularly bad at night?
Or, have you been aroung a dog with mange? Mange is a type of scabies that can get on humans too.
