How to Treat Heat Rash and sunburn

Posted by tracy tse on

At home treatment for immediate heat rash relieve:
Cold press
One of the best ways to relieve heat rash is to cool the skin down. We can apply a cold compress, such as an ice pack or cold cloth, to the area of skin to reduce redness, itching, and swelling
Take an antihistamine

Taking an over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamine tablet can help to relieve the itching and any swelling of heat rash. Oral antihistamines, such as hydroxyzine and diphenhydramine, can help to relieve itching. Some types can cause drowsiness, so it may be best to use them at night.

 

Use hydrocortisone cream

Using an OTC hydrocortisone cream or baby diaper rash cream can help to relieve the itching and discomfort from heat rash. Applying the baby diaper rash cream 1–2 times daily can help reduce the rash in children. If people are treating babies with heat rash, do not use hydrocortisone cream. Use a natural diaper rash cream.

                             

Sun Protection

The key to heat rash/ sun rash is prevention by using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and to reapply the sunscreen every two hours or more often if you're swimming or perspiring. Protect your skin with clothing and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
