Brief Answer:
Possible heat rash.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I see the photo you attached and I think it doesn't look much like eczema it looks mire like heat rash. Possibly you have been exposed to heat and sweat ducts may have closed due to humid weather and sweat.
I think you can use any histamines such benadryl or citerizine. Also continue to use hydrocortisone cream because it needs some more days to work.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
