Your symptoms suggest recurrent folliculitis and possibly keratosis pilaris or milia-like cysts causing those white bumps. Summer heat and sweating often trigger folliculitis, especially on the back, chest, and arms.
Maintaining hygiene helps, but persistent or recurrent cases usually need medical treatment including topical or oral antibiotics and keratolytic agents. Hormonal factors may also play a role.
An online consult will help me assess your skin closely and tailor a treatment plan to reduce flare-ups and improve those white bumps.
