The best ways to avoid (and treat) heat rash and sun poisoning, according to derms

The article discusses heat rash and sun poisoning, explaining how they differ from sunburns and offering prevention and treatment tips. It highlights that heat rash occurs when sweat ducts get blocked, causing red bumps or blisters, while sun poisoning results from UV exposure. Dermatologist Caren Campbell advises staying cool, wearing breathable clothing, using UPF-rated gear, avoiding heavy creams, and using gentle cleansers or hydrocortisone for relief. The piece also recommends specific products such as topical cortisone, sensitive-skin moisturizers, electrolyte packets, and ibuprofen for managing symptoms.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about health conditions and provides balanced advice from a dermatologist without taking a political stance. It focuses on medical guidance rather than advocacy or opinion.
