How many days does a heat rash take to heal? How is it treated?

Heat rash is a condition where small red bumps appear on the skin. It's often itchy and feels like a burning sensation. It can be caused by several factors, such as:

• Hot and humid weather causes excessive sweating.
• Strenuous exercise
• Wear clothes that are not breathable.
• For sensitive skin or pre-existing skin conditions.

Most heat rashes will disappear on their own within 2-3 days, but if you want them to go away faster, try this:

1. Taking cold showers frequently can help reduce skin heat.
2. Apply a lotion or cream containing calamine to help relieve itching.
3. Wear breathable clothing, such as cotton.
4. Avoid spending long periods in hot and humid environments.

If the condition doesn't improve after treatment, or if the symptoms are severe, you should see a doctor. You may need topical steroid medication to reduce inflammation.
