Few days ago, ever since I started working out in the gym, I've started to feel this on-and-off itchiness on my lower back area and I scratch it a little. The next thing I know, I started to feel these little bumps around the same area. It's kinda hard for me to see them very well since they're on my back, but they kinda look like several bug bites. I don't think it is a regular rash and it's probably not eczema either since I already have them twice. So I did some research on about my symptoms and I have come to the conclusion that it could possibly be either hives or heat rash. I heard that a lot of people would develop heat rash from sweating, heat, and exposure to other bacteria. As for hives, I just heard that people would get them from allergic reactions and that it could be a viral infection. Could working out in the gym be the cause of either one of these symptoms? Especially since I've been exposed to dust and dirt from the equipments and the either one of these symptoms could be the cause of I thought both of these symptoms make sense especially since I've been exposed to a lot of dust and dirt from the gym equipments and the gym floor? Plus I have been sweating a lot and did a lot of yoga.

I'm not a doctor by any means. You might be allergic to something and maybe that's why you are breaking out. If it's not an emergency (ex: no fever, no pain) than I would call the doctor and make an appointment. Tell the office what your symptoms are and they will base that on whether or not you need to come in for an appointment asap or within a week or so. For the mean time I would refrain from touching the rash at all but maybe apply a little bit of lotion to an area and see how that goes. If it helps I would continue to apply the lotion on the other parts of the rash. I hope you feel better and good luck!
