What Could Small, Spreading Red Spots On Torso And Arms Of A Child Without Any Help From Antihistamines Indicate?

My 10 year old son has small red spots all over his torso. They started about 3 days ago and have today spread to his arms too. His clothes are not particularly tight and it s winter so I m surprised as it looks like heat rash. I ve been giving him antihistamine for the 3 days but no improvement. Any suggestions? Many thanks

Its likely to be sweat induced skin rash.
Local application of clotrimazole dusting powder will be helpful
