Helps Inflammation: Hydrocortisone can help calm down the associated inflammation--or angry red response the skin makes around the red spots. It will also help the itching you may have with your heat rash. Keep the skin cool and dry and avoid tight clothing; small amounts of the new cream applied will make healing faster though it won't keep away new spots so work on prevention as well.
