All About Sweat Rash

What
is sweat rash?
Sweat rash is a red, itchy rash on the skin. Anyone can get sweat rash.
Not surprisingly, the rash is linked to sweating! Therefore, people who
sweat more have an increased chance of getting sweat rash. Such people include
those who play a lot of sport and those who are overweight. It usually happens
where chafing occurs or when sweat gets trapped between two layers of touching
skin or between skin and clothes.
Areas that are usually affected include the armpits, under breasts, around
the groin and between the legs and the arms. Along with the redness and
irritation of the chafing, the rash may also become infected, increasing
the problem.

What causes infected
sweat rash?
Hot and sweaty skin can become inflamed, especially where
skin rubs together or where clothes chafe against the skin. In addition,
the fungi and bacteria that are always present on our bodies, can
quickly infect irritated skin, making the rash and chaffing worse.
This is called infected sweat rash.
How should I treat it?
If infected and inflamed, you need to relieve the inflammation and
treat the infection at the same time. Daktacort™ Hydrocortisone Cream
contains an effective anti-fungal agent that also has some secondary anti-bacterial
properties. This helps eliminate the fungi and bacteria that are
present in infected sweat rash. It also contains an anti-inflammatory
to help ease inflammation, redness and itching quickly. Click
