It's a skin irritation. Simple as that. The best way to take care of it is to cool off. Keep the skin cooled with a wet poltice of baking soda water and a cotton cloth. Like a handkerchief, cotton washcloth or a cotton sock.
When you first notice the heat rash, do a series of treatments where you apply the baking soda water mixture to the skin, let it set a moment, then dry the skin. Then repeat.
Once the skin calms down, then apply a light coat of over the counter hydrocortisone. More is not more here, less is more here.
The skin swells, gets red and bumpy, looks like a big red mess and it itches too.
Don't scratch. Back away before something under your fingernails that you may be harboring scratches an already irritated area and you give yourself a case of MRSA or infection.
A heat rash if taken care of and treated quickly will heal up in a day or two.
Why the baking soda? Because it helps draw out and dry up the rash. It's gentle and botanical and all of us have a box in our refrigerators.
Enjoy the fourth of July holiday and remember to put your sunblock on and wear a visor or hat of some kind.
