Zinc oxide: A true heat rash is a fungal infection with Candida Albicans (diaper rash). It is treated with OTC anti-fungals. Zinc oxide is also helpful for the irritation and redness.

Topical steroid: Use OTC Hydrocortisone 1 or 0.5 percent . You will find it on the shelves as Cortaid (hydrocortisone) or cortisone or anti itch creams or gels . See your doctor if it does not get better after using it for 1 week
