Does your Pimple like bumps coincide with hair follicles? Even if the hair is very light there or almost non existant. If so its a common thing for wetsuit wearers called folliculitis. Or infection of the hair follicles. It tends to look like small white heads on hair follicles. Sometimes its deep under the skin and can create heated hard nodules. If you get these hard nodules and they get bigger than 3 cm in diameter under the skin see a doctor, as one of the common causes of this are the Staph bacteria.

The best prevention is simply rinse your suit and dry it outside in the sun inside out. The sun will dry the suit and help kill any of the Bacteria/Fungi that are causing your rash. I have found that Hibicleanse and a slight bleach solution scrubbed on the wetsuit rids the infestation. Then simple cleaning of the suit and drying in the sun keep it from coming back. Test a sample of hibicleanse on your skin first to make sure you arent sensitive to it. For the record Hibiclease is what hospitals give patients who are exposed to Flesh eating or MRSA bacteria. Its the best.
