I was working out and wearing a sweat suit and a couple days later i developed red dots on my legs which some have little pimple heads.is this stapp?

Could be: Sounds like folliculitis, which commonly is staph or strep species. Antibacterial soap and/or astringent can often help dry & kill the bacteria topically. If persists / spreads, may need Chlorhexidine scrub or to see dr for antibiotics.
