Common Questions and Answers about Heat rash solutions

heat

Avatar m tn Hi All, I seem to have developed some kind of heat or sun rash that i experience every time i go overseas. It normally appears within 15 minutes of exposure to sun. I've tried all different types of sunscreens that are meant to be very friendly with no luck. Once it's appeared pretty much nothing will calm it down including air con, antihystamines or steroid creams (which i don't like using).
Avatar f tn I’ve been having this issue for the past two years where I get light itches (no rash) at random areas in my body whenever my body heats up or I get stressed/nervous. It’s very strange because I have no visible rash and the areas of itching are inconsistent. Also this happens whenever I start an exercise but it’s important to note that all the itching goes away as soon as I break my first sweat. Once I start sweating, I never feel itchy.
Avatar n tn That's what I'm thinking, Mom, or a friction rash.
7613739 tn?1392614422 ve been using Sulfur Soap to calm the looks of the rash and help prevent it from spreading but I feel like the rash is going to develop immunity to it. It does itch bad especially when it's dry but I'd like to treat it like althletes feet because dark, heat, and moisture could very well help it survive. I'm thinking about taking cold showers instead of steamy showers because what if the scabies or what ever that is digs itself deeper into the skin to avoid getting boiled out...
Avatar m tn I found information on this forum (RockerforLife) 9+ months ago that a filter for clorine elimination/reduction on your showerhead may help prevent the skin dryness that in turn may cause or irritate riba rash. I have used this filter on my shower and never got the rash. I have extremely sensitive skin and used Lubriderm twice a day and the clorine filter and went the entire winter/spring/summer treating for Hep C.
Avatar n tn I have had a heat rash on my neck, beside the jawline now for 14 years. I have been to a few Dr's who have said "Its just a heat rash, nothing you can do about it". My question, can a heat rash last for this long? Its been in the same place and has never spread. Its definately gets worse in the heat, it itches like crazy.

Avatar m tn As you can see in the attached photo, for some years now, whenever I exert myself physically (especially if to the point of sweating) or taking a hot shower (which I avoid, but still), my forehead and temples (and sometimes around my eyes) break out in a blotchy red rash. Though my face may feel a bit warm, there is no other itching or physical sensation involved. It appears to be body temperature/heat related as water alone (from a shower, sweat, etc.
Avatar n tn Look for this topic over at Yahoo Groups. There are several hundred of us with various solutions. No cure, but many ideas on how to fight the itch. Changing soaps, detergents, using anithistamines DO NOT HELP. Showering with cold water makes it worse - you need to finish the shower with VERY HOT WATER. Most creams make the itching worse - avoid creams with the first ingredient of water...purified water or heavy water is better if you can find one. Less stress, sun tans, etc. DO HELP.
Avatar f tn There are so many things it could be, starting with heat rash because yes you can get it on your legs, so posting a picture or describing it would help. Also, this article might help. http://walking.about.com/od/medhot/a/legrash.
Avatar m tn About 3 years ago I developed a rash around my anus, red, intense heat, and itching. The skin gets so red it eventually cracks open. I have now visited two doctors and four dermatologists to date. I have tried everything with no relief. Derm #1 said I will have this the rest of my life don't wipe too much, here's some cream., Doc #1 thought it may be allergies which I was tested and cut all out of my diet with no relief.
Avatar n tn hives are itchy irregular raise patches of redness and heat can heighten an allergic reaction if your son has been out in the heat when the rash came. it may also be heat rash, but the benedryl and bactine would do him no harm if you give them and they are not what is needed. a cold wash cloth works well on hives and heat rash.
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 The most important thing is to not wear perfume in the first place. Trust me, as long as you don't smell bad, no one cares. And some of us much prefer it when people forgo the perfume (it burns my nose). I would not put neosporin on heat rash if it's not infected. You want the area to stay nice and dry, not all gooey, and there's no need for the antibiotics if you don't have open sores. I've never heard of baking soda being any good.
Avatar n tn Underlays, Hydrocolloid Bandages, Compeed Bandages, Skin Tac and Overlays. However nothing seems to work. Some rashes are worse than others but I really don't want to go back to using libre freestyle as they are very unreliable. Does anyone have any other suggestion/solutions that I have yet to try? Thank you.
Avatar n tn One should also contact a doctor if the rash seems worse and fever is present. In most cases, prickly heat will resolve within a few weeks without medical attention or intervention. Regards.
Avatar n tn Turns out to be prickly heat rash, day three and starting to fade. She had a heat rash, we worked up a real sweat, and heat rash is now confirmed another STD. Although this wasn't to bad a price to pay for the time spent. All other situations considered. Thank you everybody and love this room for the info.
Avatar n tn Atopic dermatitis may be considered here.Your rash appears to be triggered by heat and the incidence reverts spontaneously after a few minutes once in a cooler environment. I suggest that you have this assessed by an allergologist or clinical immunologist. An atopic reaction has to be ruled out. At this point avoid exposure to extreme heat and take frequent baths to cool the body.You may use mild moisturizers with menthol and camphor for cooling effects .
