Mmm but powders won't actually stay with your skin for long periods of time.

You know what I suggest doing? A) Check with your doctor to make sure this isn't an allergic reaction adjectated by heat B) find a scentless antipersperiant and rub it on the irritated area. Antiperspirants were meant to functionally absorb sweat and dry skin as well as bonding with skin somewhat. C) Antihystamines!

I hate this whole "avoid heat" malarky. What if you live in California?

I'm going to tell people the only thing that I found REALLY works.

I tried tons of difference creams, and they never work, at best they just irritate the skin.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil!! it works, first of all it repels water, secondly it's good for your skin, thirdly it keeps your skin from drying up, which prevents itching.

I only decided to try this a couple days ago, after months, upon months of using other junk, and having nothing work, and it's almost 100% healed, and not itchy! :-)

Hey, im not sure if i have heat rash or not, but when i stay for about 30 min sweating (exercising) my skin begins to grow red rashes they arent exactly spots they look more like mosquito bites. They appear on my face, neck and basically upper body rarely on legs. They itch a bit but they arent very itchy i can resist it. i have it for 4 years now but i never rlly searched for treatment. this also happens when i take a shower. They go away after 20min when i go to a cool place. HELP! thanks

@Kerekzy I have the same condition as you i cant even exercise no more or go outside because the sunlight gets me warm or when i get goosebumps it triggers this awful prickly itch...for some reason i tend to get the early symptoms late summer then it gets me on winter, spring and early summer then it stops...then it comes back. Also the people that have this some suffer it during summer and the others thru the other seasons? i have to stay air conditioned...

We'll i have Ichthyosis vulgaris but this prickly itch/Heat rash that i have occurs during the late summer all the way thru winter, spring,and early summer. My skin somehow sheds for the summer allowing me to sweat so i think my prickly itch goes away then comes back the early symptoms when summer nearly ends. Process all over again. And this itch is strongest at my back than any other part of my legs and arms and scalp? Anyone else

@Kerekzy it shouldnt it usually dosent i guess you need to continue to whatch it if it gets bad in the winter maybe see a doctor

[Kerekzy]

@guitaristave110 Okay, but even when it's somewhat cool I still get it from light exercise or being in a warm area for a matter of seconds. I've never had this before, but should I expect this to continue for a long time?

[guitaristave110]

@Kerekzy no no no i get it every summer on my arms above my forearms for wearing tshirts in marching band it goes away especially when it gets cold

[Kerekzy]

I've picked this up a few weeks ago and it's really annoying me. I get it whenever I exercise or even after I take warm showers. How long will it last like this? Is this is a life long condition?

[kTrikx]

yeah, this pisses me off! every time i work out or drink a cup of coffee then my body gets warm then starts itching
