Home answers to heat rash

Yeah, right. Who wants to talk about heat rash? Well, we better talk about it now before you head out to your holiday parties, have a good time and the next day have heat rash.

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.
