Brief Answer:
Apply steroid creams. Not allow sweat accumlation
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to XXXXXXX
Avoid synthetic shirts. You have to wear cotton inner. Don't allow sweat to accumulate for hours. If possible frequent wiping with a wet nice towel will do good.
You can also apply sweat absorbing talcum powders and not the prickly heat powders.
Just application of some steroid creams for few days will cure the rash and its irritation.
Your working and housing atmosphere must be adequately ventilated. Don't sleep in closed air tight room.
You will be alright soon.

Brief Answer:
Think of other conditions aggravated by sweat
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
1. Whether it got better and recurred means that you have to change the working atmosphere or house atmosphere. Here we talk about the acute sweat irritation and its reaction over the skin. Some other conditions like fungal infection or friction rashes or intertrigo etc.are aggravated by excessive sweating and have to be treated differently.
2. If it does not get better then we have to re-validate the diagnosis of the condition. So it is better for you to consult a Dermatologist and get his opinion and his guidance regarding treatment.
