    What's your diagnosis?

    I'll tell you in advance that the cause has nothing to do with allergy or infection.

    I'll post the correct answer in a few days!

    Correct answer:

    Prickly heat, also known as miliaria.

    An innocent condition that occurs in warm, humid environments, usually affecting children. There's obstruction of sweat glands by dead skin cells or commensal bacteria, causing a red, itchy rash.
