Rash Like Bumps On Right Forearm And Upper Arm. Applying Calamine- Aloe Vera, Nicil Powder. Need Your Advise

Hi,
I am getting a bout of rash like bumps which are raised on my right forearm and upper arm. It is present nowhere else. It does not itch or hurt. Kindly advise as I do not feel good looking at them. Everybody who looks at them says it is heat rash. It is there for the past 2 days. I am applying lacto calamine-Aloe Vera and Nicil Powder on it.

Kindly advise.

Regards

Dermatologist,  's  Response
hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
The rash in your case might very well be prickly heat (miliaria). It is summer now and quite hot. Whatever you are using seems to be ideal. Additionally you can have cold water compresses which will sooth. As it is not itchy or painful there is nothing to worry. Avoid as much as possible sun and heat and try staying indoors.
Nothing to panic.
Take care.
