How to tell difference in heat rash and yeast infection?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
A test : A test for yeast would tell the difference. A skin biopsy would also give the answer. See your dermatologist for treatment and evaluation.

Smell and pattern: Yeast infections are usually bright red with little red dots at the outside border. Heat rashes are much more diffuse.
