10 Heat Rash Symptoms

Symptom #4: Itchiness
Itchiness is another common symptom of heat rash. The heat can irritate skin, leading to a constant itch in the affected area. Clothing plays a significant role in this regard. Light, breathable fabric is a good option.
Keep the area sweat-free by staying in a cool place to reduce the itchiness. Also wear cotton fabric whenever possible. This helps to air the infected area. Diet can also play some part in reducing the itchiness. Avoid oily and spicy foods to reduce the risk of hormonal disturbances. For some mild and moderate cases of itchiness, using prickly heat powder and taking frequent showers can also be helpful.
