Our doctor said the other day that my little girl had measles and it turned out to be a sort of heat rash.

I just know I'm going to end up with another nasty heat rash.

Although annoying and uncomfortable, the good news is that heat rash usually heals on its own in just a few days.

More good news (especially for children) - heat rash is not infectious or contagious.

The best way to reduce the risk of getting heat rash is take preventive measures to avoid it.

Another way to avoid heat rash is to keep your child's room cool at night.

If your child does end up getting heat rash, find a cool, dry place.

In young children, heat rash can appear on the head, neck, and shoulders.

The best treatment for heat rash is to provide a cooler, less humid environment.

Treating heat rash is simple and usually does not require medical assistance.
