Brief Answer:
Looks like an eczema or heat rash
Detailed Answer:
Hi... I understand your concern. I have seen the image and also have gone through the history you have provided.
This looks like heat rash or an eczema both of which can have some ups and downs in this season. As I have suggested previously please keep applying Atogla lotion. This should do.
If it is still getting aggravated kindly consult your local pediatrician or dermatologist to decide if it requires a steroid cream application.
