Does anyone have any good home remedies for heat rashes?

Question

Lately, I turn red on certain parts of my body when they are rubbed (ie. face, hands, arms, legs). I'm thinking it's a heat rash because usually putting a cold compress on the area helps ease the itch. Does anyone have any long term home remedies that might help with this "heat rash"?

Answer 1

i use baby powder, and have also heard gold bond powder is good.

Answer 2

Have you changed detergents or soaps lately? If so it could be the cause of your problem. I find that soaking in a lukewarm bath with a cup of baking soda, milk, buttermilk, cornstarch or vinegar helps soothe the skin and leaves you silky soft too. Witch Hazel applied with a cotton ball will ease the itch quickly. After it dries dust the area with cornstarch before getting dressed. Hope you feel better soon.

Answer 3

I was just reading the questions to my mom and when she
heard yours, she yelled Vinegar
She says that you should get some apple cider vinegar and
soak a washcloth in it and pat it on the heat rash. Or you
could add a cup of the vinegar to a lukewarm bath and soak.
She swears this works

Answer 4

I suggest that you take a bath in warm water with 1/4 cup of Baking Soda mixed in. Do that every day and dry yourself completely afterwards.
