How to stop heat rash itch?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Keep dry: Try to keep the affected area as clean; and dry as possible. Oatmeal soaks and salves are very useful in relieving the symptoms and helping to break the "itch/scratch" cycle; which is of utmost importance in allowing the skin to heal.

Cold compresses: For immediate relief cold compresses with milk on a paper towel to remove the heat from the skin. Oatmeal baths are soothing. Topical steroid lotion can also help. As a preventive an absorbent powder such as zeasorb.
