Heat rash is uncomfortable and it can occur in both children and adults leaving the skin red, itchy and with painful bumps. If these bumps burst, they could get infected making matters worse. While heat rash is fairly common in the hot summer months, there are some things that you can do to treat and avoid it.

     Most cases of heat rash tend to clear up on their own in less than a week, but severe cases might require medical attention or the application of topical creams which can only soothe the skin until the heat rash clears up on its own. One method to get some relief from heat rash is to stay as cool and dry as possible. Turn the air conditioning in your home lower than you typically do and take a cool shower, letting your skin air dry. Avoid drying off with a towel as this will only make your skin itchier.

     Then, wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing that will let the area where the heat rash breathe. This will also help in the healing process as the skin will remain cool, dry and it will get the fresh air it needs. If you do use a lotion or cream, be sure that it is not oil based as this could clog your sweat glands and make your heat rash feel even more intense and painful.
