Skin condition what could it be

I have very fine, itchy bumps that are getting bigger in size across my neck, chest and face area. I think its because of the hot weather and I don’t have air cond. But I was wondering if there is a name for this skin of rash so i can apply medication? the bumps are very fine and small, and it expands in size. when it first appear its not visible to the eye, it can only be felt (rougher skin texture). Then when its a little bit worse, can see a patch of small bumps.
