A member asked:

Can heat bumps be in a straight line?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely.: However, a linear distribution usually indicates a possible allergic or irritant contact dermatitis to something that came into contact with the skin (such as poison ivy etc.). Also rash in this instance would be very itchy. Hope this helps.
