Apply Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera is a herbal plant that has a lot of medicinal benefits. It has significantly contributed to traditional medicine because of its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. It can be taken orally (in the form of capsules and tea) and topically. But, it was popularized because of its wound-healing and skin-protection properties.
Aloe vera has been used in ancient times as a remedy for burns and rashes. These claims are now backed up by scientific evidence and research. Aloe vera is now recommended as first aid or home remedy to alleviate the pain and swelling caused by heat rash. In addition, it is proven effective in cooling down the skin, unclogging the sweat ducts, and preventing the spread of infection.
There are aloe vera gels that can be bought over the counter. These are safe to use, even for patients with sensitive skin. Applying fresh aloe vera gel from an aloe plant is also effective in eliminating heat rash. However, in some rare cases, aloe vera can trigger irritation and skin inflammation, so it would be best to always try a skin test before applying it to the infected area.
