Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I would keep a possibility of Miliria rubra which can develop in excess sweaty conditions like summers and high fevers etc.
You could use a topical soothing lotion e,g calamine lotion, thrice daily. Bathing twice daily with cold water and staying indoors preferably in an AC, for a day makes a lot of difference to these.
An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg can be taken once daily for symptomatic relief from itching
