Question
Hi, it can be difficult to differentiate between contact dermatitis and endogenous eczema (body rashes) without a proper clinical history.
It is best to consult your doctor and take a history of the contact exposure of the skin at home, work and hobbies. Common contact dermatitis include nickle, rubber and dyes.
The important point is the the history of exposure.

Sensitivity or allergy to oats is uncommon. People with these conditions have an immune system reaction to avenin, a protein found in oats. The cause of a food-related allergic reaction is an overly sensitive immune system to one or more of the proteins in the oatmeal. The immune system identifies the proteins as dangerous substances and a threat to the body and reacts by attacking the proteins. Immunoglobulin E antibodies trigger a chemical reaction throughout the body, causing white blood cells to produce histamine.
Your rash appears to be allergic or heat rash. However more history and examination will be helpful. If the rash gets worse or fails to resolve after a few days, please seek help from a doctor.
