Accepted Answer

This : This rash could be a few different things. 
- impetigo is a skin infection caused by bacteria - either streptococcus or staph. This needs to be treated with antibiotics. 
- contact dermatitis is skin inflammation. It can be caused by plants such as poison ivy or poison oak or it can be from contact of a chemical or item that a person is particularly sensitive to. This is usually treated with steroid creams or oral steroids. 
- viral illness such as chicken pox, shingles or herpes can also cause painful blisters on a red base. This can be treated with anti-virals or just needs to run its course depending on the severity of the infection.

The best thing to do is to contact his doctor and have him seen, since each possible problem requires different treatments. Good luck.

Have to see it: Rashes are best diagnosed by having a healthcare professional look at it.  Recommend that you see your provider or setup a telehealth consult so that you can be treated with the appropriate medication if needed.  Ringworm does have a circular raised appearance, it can itch or burn and spreads easily. There is an antifungal cream that you can use, sometimes takes weeks for it to go away.

Accepted Answer

Keep cooler: Heat rash usually resolves in a few days unless you continue to sweat too much.  So dress in cooler clothes or remove a layer of clothes, blankets, etc.  Try not to use any topical creams or ointments that can also hold in heat.  Keep  cooler and the rash should go away on its own.  Cool water will feel good on the rash. Solarcaine gel would help with comfort also.
