Heat rash, also called miliaria, is more than just a summer nuisance.
To fight the painful symptoms of miliaria, you can use antibacterial soap, which has been shown to be potent in the fight against all kinds of bacteria. Besides antibacterial soap, you may also use itch-curing substances including calamine and menthol, as well as a range of other topical steroid creams. Even though this is an effective remedy, some people find that creams and lotions can cause further blockage of the sweat glands. This is especially true for oil-based treatments, which can irritate the sensitive layers of the skin. Some people have noticed positive effects after consuming vitamin A and C supplements.
