What Is The Cause Of Pimple Like Spots On The Skin?

Hi, my son is 3 years old and for the last 5 days I have seen pimple like spots appear, he always has the odd one or too around his bottom but over the last 5 days he has lots over his tummy, top of legs and bottom, some look a little angry like insect bites others are smaller. None on his limbs, face or back. He is currectly being treated for eczema so have been avoiding any soap, using very gentle washing powder etc. I have been told before when I took his to the doctors that this was chicken pox but the spots came and went with no blisters/scabs and have come back again. I have looked at the under magnifying glass and cannot see any blisters forming it looks like its spots under the skin. His temperature is fine, no stiffness, no itchy/stinging areas, he is eating/sleeping fine and happy in himself. If I take him back to the doctors I am worried they will tell me again its a case of chicken pox but im not convinced and think they will keep appearing. Please can you let me know what you think?

HI
Well come to HCM
Chances of atopic dermatitis may be possible and this can be well treated with steroid and with some soothing agent, like Beclomethasone cream and Diphenhydramine lotion, if condition remains like this only then this need to be clinically examined, take care, have a nice day
