How to get rid of an itchy heat rash from over a month ago (what worked for you if you had this?
I walk miles per week on a regular basis.....I don't know perhaps 4x per week at 2-3 miles each walk?...ANywho, when it was blazin' hot outside, like 90 and way above w/humidity, suddenly I developed a heat rash that itches sometimes, on each side of the groin, lol. But nope not on private area or private parts whatsoever.
I keep applying 91% rubbing alchohol, then tea tree oil on it + calamine lotion. It stops the itching but the freaking thing will not go away! I wash it with regular soap-n-water then apply all the stuff mentioned above.
ANyone w/this eperience or an actual doctor who can recommend something to heal it safely and completely? THANKS☺

Ouch! That alcohol burns I'm sure! It's really harsh on the skin, especially raw areas. The best thing to do is to let the area breathe, dude. Lay in front of a fan with some aloe on the affected area and let it cool off. Also, try using medicated body powder when you have to walk like that again. Try to wear breathable fabrics and looser drawers maybe.
The thing that concerns me most is that you've had this rash for a month. Usually rashes go away on their own. I really recommend seeing a doctor to be sure that it is in fact a heat rash.
Good luck! I know how uncomfortable those can be.

Keep yourself in a cool area where you won't sweat. After you get these rashes, take a cold shower to keep your body cool. Wear light clothes that won't make you sweat. Keep the spots where you usually sweat fresh and clean.
