Sometimes, a heat rash just won't go away on its own. In these cases, there are some creams and lotions that can help accelerate the healing process. However, these are the exception, not the rule. Most creams and lotions will not help a case of heat rash, even if they're advertised as "soothing" or "moisturizing." In fact, many can even make heat rash worse, especially if they contain one of the following ingredients:  Hydrocortisone. Many people assume that hydrocortisone will soothe the rash.

At night, apply calamine and then get into clean sheets. Remember that calamine can stain – therefore, don't use it with your best bedding.
