Symptom #9: Mild Swelling
Due to a continuous irritable feeling and itching, there are chances of mild to moderate swelling. Also known as angioedema, swelling as a heat rash symptom starts within the depths of skin. It can affect any part of the body including the face, tongue, lips, genital area, and around the eyes.
Certain medications can be used to reverse the swelling. Some home remedies including ginger and turmeric also have anti-inflammatory properties and can, therefore, lessen the swelling. Other remedies for heat rash swelling include cold therapies by applying ice packs to the swollen area from time to time. Also, after taking a shower, let the skin air dry and do not use towel. You may also apply non-oily ointments and creams.
