Heat rash -- also called prickly heat or miliaria -- is a common condition in which areas of the skin itch intensely and often feel prickly, or sting, due to overheating. Heat rash looks like tiny bumps surrounded by a zone of red skin. It usually occurs on clothed parts of the body, such as the back, abdomen, neck, upper chest, groin, or armpits and goes away on its own within a few days. In severe forms, however, heat rash can interfere with the body's heat-regulating mechanism and cause fever, heat exhaustion, and even death.

Heat rash occurs most often in hot, humid conditions, but you may develop it in cool weather if you are overdressed. The condition usually appears a few days to a few months after exposure to a hot, humid environment. It's most common in infants. Active people, newborns in incubators, and bedridden patients with fever also are more likely to get heat rash. "

No.

It's been extremely hot and humid here in Maryland for the last few weeks. I've been doing a lot of yard work and concrete work in my basement (sweated out about 10 lbs) and broke out pretty bad with zits and a rash covering my shoulders and back. I bought a back scrubber, took a couple oatmeal baths, and started showering at least twice a day and within a week it went away.

I tend to get extremely itchy in hot or humid weather. I started using lotion over my entire body twice a day. After a couple of months I never had the problem again. While I'm sure it is a real medical condition, I think some people just suffer from dry skin.
