Choose loose-fitting, breathable clothing made from natural fibers like cotton or linen. Avoid synthetic fabrics that trap heat and moisture.
Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help regulate your body temperature and prevent overheating. Aim for at least eight glasses daily.
Limit sun exposure. Accutane increases sun sensitivity. Wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, and seek shade during peak sun hours (10 a. m. to 4 p. m.).
Take cool showers or baths, especially after exercise or being outdoors. Avoid hot water, which can exacerbate heat rash.
Use gentle, fragrance-free soaps and lotions. Harsh chemicals can irritate already sensitive skin.
| Exercise | Exercise in cooler parts of the day or in an air-conditioned environment. |
| Sleeping | Sleep in a cool, well-ventilated room. Consider using a fan. |
| Environment | Minimize time spent in humid or hot environments. Use air conditioning when possible. |
If you develop a heat rash, gently pat the affected area with a cool, damp cloth. Avoid scratching. If symptoms worsen or persist, contact your dermatologist.
