Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Perhaps it is a heat rash. I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion, 2-3 times a day. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Tab cetrizine 10mg once a day for a few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
