You can cool off by standing in front of a fan.

I get prickly heat. It comes out on my upper Arms, Chest and shins usually. It is a rash of tiny lumps and is very itchy. The only way I have found to lesson the rash is to take Periton tablets every day for about a week before I come to Cyprus and every day I am there, and use an anti allergy sun protection.
I also only use a light moisturiser. Avon skin so soft (also helps with the mosquitoes}

Try Allegra available at chemists here. Dermatologist gave them to my wife last year when she was really suffering with skin problems and these are a large dose of antihistamine, which is in fact a strong piriton dose.

Apply fresh cut Aloe Vera topically. ...

camomile lotion.. Also for immediate short term relief for itching from various heat sources rub with an ice cube.

antihistamine like piriton etc will help with itching. also a good hydrocortisone cream should be of relief. try keep cool and wear cotton to prevent sweating.

Calamine lotion is the old favourite, but I prefer hydrocortisone cream-apply sparingly! !
