Use calamine lotion or cool compresses to calm
You can also try adding baking soda or cornstarch directly to the rash to absorb the moisture and sweat. Reapply every few hours and before each time you apply do rinsing and drying your skin. Keep doing until you are satisfied
Yes, you got it!! Cornstarch is good for a heat rash. But, I would start first with a medicinal measure first as in; neosporin, bactroban, or caladryl.
Yes. It is soothing and absorbent.
There are many people who use cornstarch on a heat rash. You should put this on every few hours. When you are ready to add more cornstarch you should wash the area well and dry it before applying the cornstarch.
Some people find it very helpful. I prefer calamine liquid.
Be very careful with heat rash, as in some people can it can turn into a cellulitis quickly where the affected skin appears swollen and red and is typically painful and warm to the touch.
If you think it is more than your usual rash, please seek medical attention as cellulitis is a serious, but treatable infection.
Corn starch is good and natural, they also have lotion or ointment at the drug store!
