heat

Avatar n tn Sometimes it is a build up of heat which results in a heat rash or if you sweat a lot, the constant moisture causes the itching and rash. I have found that cortisone creams do not work, but amazingly diaper rash cream does the trick. Of course you should consult your doctor to find out for sure.
Avatar n tn However, steroids should not be used in the groin alone without consulting your doctor since steroids alone can make the rash of jock itch much worse. If the rash is very red and itchy, especially if it has blisters at the edge, a topical steroid such as hydrocortisone can also be applied aside from the clotrimazole cream. If this persists, it would be best to see your doctor for proper management. Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar n tn i dont know if i have a heat rash or jock itch it seems to itch very little but no peeling on the skin and no redness but there is little red bumps above my pelvic area is this heat rash or jock itch?
Avatar f tn I had a rash that started with little red bumps all over "heat rash" area... under the breast under urms and inner thighs. went to the dermatologist..first treated it with over the counter stuff... sarna cortizone and such...than when itch got a lot worse and bumps went everywhere biopsy said alleergic reaction to some chemical?? but dont know what!! ..after 3 visits... he gave me steroids. first 5 days 60 mg and next 5 days 40 mg and so on until the last 5 days 10 mg.
Avatar n tn About a month ago, I wore an undershirt that was new from the department store without washing it. The very next day, my upper body started to itch like crazy. I went to see the dermatologist and took prescribed medicine for about three weeks. Two weeks have passed since I last took medicine, the rash is subtle, but I think it's spreading down to my lower body. I don't know what to do. I can barely see the bumps. But it itches a lot.
Avatar n tn Yeah - that's exactly it a red rash! Thought it was heat rash at first but it couldn't be that consistent surely.
Avatar f tn So just wondering how do you know the difference in pupp and heat rash?
Avatar m tn Also all these spots seem to be raised up slightly above the skin and the turn red around the edges when I get hot. I have been told heat rash before, but i thought it was localized to persistently sweaty areas and that it goes away anywhere from like 4-48 hours. Also with sun spots I always thought they went away after a good winter and you lose your tan and start again, besides sunspots definitely aren't supposed to itch, swell, and turn red.
Avatar n tn One of the doctors said something about it being a heat rash and using benadryl cream for the itch. How can heat rash be prevented? Does suntan lotion help? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/243359'>tiny little red itchy bumps</a>.
Avatar n tn In all probability this is an allergic reaction to something that’s in air during summer---maybe dust or pollen or animal dander, or something you eat. It can also be a heat rash even though it does not itch. Otherwise even dermatitis, and eczema can show a seasonal variation. If there is no itch, there can be no remedy for this. You need to find the cause of allergen by allergy testing. Take care!
Avatar n tn Most often, heat rash goes away on its own. Severe forms of heat rash may need medical care, but the best way to relieve symptoms is to cool your skin and prevent sweating. Keep the affected area dry. Dusting powder may be used to increase comfort.
Avatar n tn this can be a sign of a plant rash, or enviromental rash.

Avatar n tn Hi ladies, I have a really itchy rash all over my chest under and between my breasts. I'm in the first trimester and I'm not sure if it's pupp rash or heat rash as i live in a hot climate. What can I do to make this go away or even just soothe the itch?
Avatar f tn I have tried anti itch cream and antibiotic cream. It will not go away and continues to itch. Also I have a reaccouring rash that appears on my chest.The one on my heel and other one on my chest are UNRELATED. The one on my chest usually occurs after i lay in the tanning bed. Could it be from heat? It itches and spreads when i scratch it.Any suggestions will help.Thanks.
Avatar n tn hello for the last month or two ive had a large rash on my upper leg which wrapps itself on either side,im a carpenter so i get abit swetty on hot summers day, im 95% sure its not exma need some cream asap its very very itchy.. thought it was just heat rash but has been going on long now may need to go see doctor but abit embarrased to go,spots and rash have not spread on genitals or pubic area, creams? any idea's much appreshiated!
Avatar f tn Sweat rash or heat rash is still a differential .However do you also note other similar rash in other parts of the body? If this is heat rash, avoiding hot and humid places is necessary .Avoid excessive sweating or engaging in strenuous exercises which may lead to excessive sweat. This should resolve in a few days time and does not necessarily need any urgent intervention. You may apply light and mild cream over the area.
Avatar n tn s a possibility it is only a heat rash, but in the off-chance it is not, it could be a fungal infection, or commonly jock itch. Try Lotrimin IB which can be found at Walgreens and CVS stores, and apply on and around the area in the morning and at night. If it is just heat rash, try Gold Bond Medicated powder, and wear clothes that breathe well.
Avatar f tn I had a rash on the top of my bump too! I noticed it after I started getting bigger. it didn't itch or anything. then a couple weeks ago my mom noticed it on my neck and I thought that was weird so I asked the doctor she didn't really say what it was just that was a simple rash. she gave me a cream to use, I used it maybe twice and now the rash is gone.
Avatar f tn No i haven't wore any different material? I thought it was a heat rash but it hasn't gone away and it itches really really bad. But I don't want to itch it because I don't want to get stretch marks! It's torture! And no I have not tried taking benadryl.
916918 tn?1244091877 For the third time running, in the last two years, I've developed a rather uncomfortable rash from a minor to moderate sunburn. I used to never get rashes, I'd burn, and that'd be the end of it. I don't know if there's a correlation here, but I got mono when I was about 15, and it was pretty bad! All the normal symptoms and all that jazz, but I had the most excruciating rash ever. Over nearly my entire body; I'm talking everywhere, even in my mouth!
Avatar f tn Yes, I have the rash and itch and use Hydroxyzine for it. I made the mistake of being in the sun and heat (70s) for about 30-45 minutes in April and the rash and itching went wild. I took Hydroxyzine and used clobetesol solution and this calmed the rash and itching. By the following day it was back to "normal" ie fairly well controlled as long as I take Hydroxyzine 50 mg every 6 hours.
