"Is Heat Rash Treatment Needed?

Heat rash isn't dangerous like sunburn is, and most doctors will tell you that heat rash treatment isn't needed. Staying out of the heat and keeping the skin cool is all that is recommended. Left alone, the rash will clear up on its own in a few days.

The problem is, heat rash can be maddeningly itchy! The bumps can look unattractive, too. Here are some heat rash treatments to help relieve symptoms and encourage the rash to clear up:

* Keep skin cool. This can be as simple as wearing lighter clothing or staying out of the sun. If air-conditioning is available, use it.
* Try a breeze. Sitting near a fan can help. For babies, put the fan far enough away that the baby receives only a gentle breeze.
* Bathe with cool water. Cool baths every few hours can be soothing. Cool compresses can help, too. Allow skin to dry completely between baths or compresses.
* Apply hydrocortisone cream. For older children and adults, 1% hydrocortisone cream can kick the itch. A thin layer, applied to the rash two or three times a day, may help the bumps heal faster, too. Be sure to follow the package directions, and never use these creams on babies.

Treatments to Avoid

* Oily lotions or ointments can block sweat glands, making heat rash more likely to occur and slower to go away.
* Herbal preparations such as aloe, which is also used to treat sunburn, may feel soothing for some people. However, others find that they're irritating. Using the wrong medicine can actually cause a secondary rash.
* Talcum powder can help keep skin
dry, but it's bad for the lungs if accidentally inhaled."

Helloooooooo! Jack and I are sitting here resting. Most of the food is loaded into the trailer. Larry and Sandy have gone to a party. This is the reason they drove up here. Hope they have fun!

Being out late last night and sitting and visiting most of the day has left me tired!

I am worried about George. Why is Shirley putting him in the dryer? And Darth???? My goodness, what has he been up to? I am worried, very worried....empty nest syndrome is affecting folks.

Laurel sent me pictures from the baby shower. The burp cloths (or rags) were a huge success. Yea! Jack also made a name train and they were thrilled with it she said.
