Burning, itchy bumps of heat rash can be painful and extremely irritating. Applying Aloe Vera is extremely beneficial because it soothes and cools the affected area and contains anti-inflammatory properties that make an excellent home remedy to relieve spiny heat. One of the reasons Aloe Vera works well for a heat rash is that it does not clog the pores of your skin. Many creams and lotions used to moisturize and relieve heat rashes also risk clogging the pores, which can actually worsen the condition of the skin. The application of Aloe Vera gel is effective in this regard as its lightweight water-based composition does not clog the pores. Instead, it actually works to reduce swelling. Aloe Vera friction on the small swollen lumps of your skin helps you to heal more quickly. It treats inflammation and painful rash due to the anti-inflammatory properties found in Aloe Vera, and salicylic acid found in Aloe Vera works to relieve pain and irritation and soothe the skin.
