Heat rash is a superficial, inflammatory skin disease common in summer or hot environments, and is generally self-limiting. In most cases, the heat rash will subside on its own after the skin is cooled and treated. It is important to keep the room cool and ventilated, wear loose clothing, and avoid scratching with your hands to avoid skin breakage and secondary infection. If the general treatment does not relieve, accompanied by obvious itching, you need to use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Commonly used medications include glycerite lotion, and in severe cases, hormonal medications such as hydrocortisone solution are also needed. For secondary infections, antibiotics such as amoxicillin and roxithromycin can be used as appropriate.
