Heat Rash -- Ahhhh!!!

I did some work in our landscaping this morning and when I was thru I came
inside, took a shower and then when I got out I noticed this rash all over
my arms, chest and belly. I showed it to DH and he said it was probably heat
rash (it looks like tiny red dots). I bought some Benadryl Spray and it
seems to work for a little while, though it leaves me very sticky. Any ideas
for relief?

This is a problem for us every summer.
For heat rash, make sure you only wear 100% cotton clothing and I find that
cornstarch powder on the affected area fixes the problem for all of us.

up ... although they are still forecasting 26-27 degree C days for the first
week of winter starting tomorrow!).

Thanks I will try the cornstarch powder. Its actually gotten better but I
still have the rash. It doesn't particularly bother me unless my clothing
rubs against it or I think about it.
