Will my non itchy red rash be increased by heat?

Answer by  a1wes (14)

Your rash might or might not be increased by heat, depending on the type and cause of the rash. A rash caused by an allergic reaction will not be affected by an increase in heat. However, a rash that is due to heat or exercise will almost certainly become redder as heat increases.

If the rash was caused by heat then yes. But if not, then more than likely not. It could have been triggered by some type of allergy, stress, friction caused by the skin coming into contact with something, or an irritant in clothing.

It really depends on what kind of rash it is, but it is possible for heat to irritate a rash. I don't advise holding a warm compress over the rash. The best thing is to keep it cool and clean and use a hydrocortisone cream to help it heal faster.
