Heat Rash Relief Tips for Hot Weather | Sheffield News

UK heatwave hitting 30°C for 12 days straight? You’re not alone if you’ve got heat rash—those itchy red bumps that fade on their own. Lighter skin shows them clearly, but darker skin tones may need extra care. Cool down your skin: drink water, take cool showers, wear loose cotton, and use light bedding. Try a cool damp cloth or ice pack (wrapped!) for 20 minutes—gently pat, don’t rub. Skip scented products. Pharmacists can help with calamine, antihistamines, or hydrocortisone. If it lasts beyond a few days—or if it’s on a baby (who’s more vulnerable)—see a doctor. NHS has visuals to help spot baby heat rash. Always better to be safe.
