Hi there

 

Please know that I am not a doctor and that nobody on the Internet can diagnose you.

 

Here is an image of what a heat rash can look like.  They can be itchy.  You will want to cool your skin...you can use an ice pack to do so or a cool shower or bath.  There are a lot of over the counter lotions you can buy to soothe heat rash.  Aloe vera gel can be helpful and feel cooling.  Wear loose cotton clothes which allows the skin to air out and dry.

 

If you still have concerns I would contact your doctor just so you have peace of mind.  The rash might be something else entirely.

 

I hope you feel better soon.  Thank you for your question.
