Does anyone else get heat rash?

Question

I like really hot showers and I always get heat rash right where the water hits me. I also get heat rash on my legs from the little heater under my desk.

I hate it! It looks like a nasty disease or something.

Answer 1

The best treatment for heat rash is to provide a cooler, less humid environment. Keep the affected area dry. Dusting powder may be used to increase comfort, but avoid using ointments or creams-they keep the skin warm and moist and may make the condition worse.

Treating heat rash is simple and usually does not require medical assistance. Other heat-related problems can be much more severe.
