Heat rash is a common skin condition caused when sweat gets trapped under the skin. It’s usually harmless but can feel quite uncomfortable.

🔍 Symptoms of Heat Rash:

* Small, raised red spots (on white skin)
* Grey or white rash on brown or black skin
* Itchy or prickly feeling
* Mild swelling

👶 Common in babies, but anyone can get it – especially in hot or humid weather.

💡 How to Soothe the Rash:

✔️ Apply a cool damp cloth or an ice pack (wrapped in a towel) for up to 20 minutes

✔️ Gently tap the rash – avoid scratching

❌ Do not use perfumed shower gels or creams

🌬️ Tips to Prevent Heat Rash:

👕 Wear loose-fitting, lightweight clothes

🚿 Take cool showers or baths

💧 Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated

🧊 Keep skin cool and dry whenever possible

⏳ Heat rash usually improves within a few days without needing treatment. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, speak to your GP.
