How to Get Rid of Heat Rash Bumps

Heat rash has impeccable timing.

Vacation? Heat rash.
Outdoor concert? Heat rash.
Twelve weeks pregnant and already overheating? Yep...heat rash.

Those tiny red, itchy bumps seem to appear overnight, and once they do, every shirt suddenly feels like sandpaper. The good news? Helping calm heat rash doesn't have to mean reaching for a medicine cabinet full of products. Bedrock Balm can help.

What causes heat rash bumps?

Heat rash develops when sweat becomes trapped beneath the skin instead of evaporating normally. The trapped sweat irritates the skin, leading to small red bumps, itching, tenderness, and that familiar prickly feeling.

It commonly shows up on the chest, under the breasts, neck, back, private parts, armpits, belly folds, and anywhere sweat and friction like to team up.

Why won't my heat rash go away?

The biggest reason heat rash sticks around is that the skin never gets a chance to recover.

When irritated skin continues rubbing against clothing or stays damp with sweat, the cycle repeats itself. The bumps become more inflamed, itchier, and increasingly uncomfortable.

Why Bedrock Balm helps heat rash bumps

When skin is irritated, continuing friction and moisture can keep the cycle going.

Bedrock Balm was formulated to help break that cycle.

Its 20% non-nano zinc oxide creates a protective barrier that helps shield irritated skin from ongoing rubbing while supporting the skin barrier. At the same time, nourishing botanical ingredients including Jojoba Oil, Camellia Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Calendula Flower Extract, Rosehip Seed Oil, Roman Chamomile, German Chamomile, Lavender, and Vitamin E help comfort sensitive, redness-prone skin.

Bedrock Balm focuses on helping skin feel calm, protected, and comfortable.
