Allergic to my own sweat?

Hey guys..
so, I just came back from a really exhausting workout and while getting ready for my shower I noticed that I had a bunch of small pox all over my back, sorta like a rash or something. I really don't know what it is and even after 30 minutes they are still there. Is it possible that I have an allergic reaction to my own sweat?

    Maybe it's from all of the yucky toxins that came out in your sweat. Try drinking TONS of water to stay flushed.

    I hope it gets better.

    I get this kind of thing sometimes, I think usually it's from friction plus sweat. It always goes away within a couple of days but if it doesn't maybe you should think about seeing a doc to be sure :)
