Heat rash is often a result of hot and humid weathers. It occurs primarily when the underlying subcutaneous layer begins to produce more sebum or natural oil. If you have any rashes prefer to keep in dry by dusting anti bacterial powder. Or just add a couple of tablespoons of baking soda or sprinkling of oatmeal powder to cool bath. This will help ease the itching of heat rash.
