Thanks.  I'll look for zinc oxide on the label.

Hello Jo Elizabeth,

My son use to get lots of heat rashes when we lived in Tucson.  For me, less clothes and a more natural rash cream with the zinc oxide was key.  It's that zinc oxide that really helps the rash go away but don't go cheep on the rash cream or you'll get added chemicals and perfumes that just make the skin worse.  I like Avalon rash cream or Aveeno organic.  For in between cream applications you could do a little natural coconut oil which is a natural antibiotic but this will be more soothing and not really a remedy to get rid of that rash.  I'd be really careful with what types of soaps touch the skin as well since there are so many out there that would act as an irritant.

Hope you get rid of that rash soon because I know how horribly frustrating those can be for our kids.

Erin

Thanks, I'll keep the baking soda remedy in mind.

Maybe it's not a heat rash.  I had something like that and I too thought it was heat rash and it turned out to be ring worm.  Which is not a worm at all, but a virus that goes in a circle.  You need special lotions and creams to get rid of it.
If you want to try an old rememdy, make a paste out of baking soda and rub it on, it heals heat rash, if that doesn't work, call your Dr. and let them look at it.  It could also be chicken pox.  Kids ge the vaccine for it, but they can still get a mild case of it.

Hi.  I’m wondering if any of you can help me.  My daughter has gotten a persistent heat rash on her back, and some on her sides over the rib cage.
I’ve tried extra washing.  I’ve tried Lubriderm lotion, which is free of dyes and perfumes.  I’ve tried Noxeema, Vaseline, Cortisone-10, and baby powder.  I’ve encouraged my daughter to sleep topless so her skin can breathe.  The rash itches, and then my daughter scratches at it and gets it all scabbed up.  Is there a remedy I’m missing?
