How does heat rash go away in babies, how is it prevented?
⚡ Short answer: Heat rash treatment is cooling and dryness: thin cotton clothes, 22-24°C room, clean with warm water and dry thoroughly — no cream/powder needed; see doctor if pus forms or fever appears.

It's getting hot and my baby has red heat rash on the neck and underarms. How does it go away and how do I prevent it?

Heat rash in hot weather is very common and really bothers babies. I want you to know you don't need to worry — it will pass. The most important thing first is keeping your baby cool; try to keep the room between 22-24°C and dress her in thin, cotton clothes.
For existing heat rash areas, you can clean them gently with warm water and soft cotton several times a day — pat dry when drying, don't rub. You don't need to apply rash cream, powder, or anything else; letting the area breathe is the best solution. You can bathe her several times, but make sure the water isn't too hot.
Warning: If heat rash doesn't go away in a day or two, fills with fluid, or your baby has fever, see your pediatrician.
