White splotchy spots from the heat

For two weekends, I have been watching tennis in the HOT SUN!  While I was happy that there was no rain forcing play to halt, I didn't know the sun/heat could be so treacherous.

Well, watching a match on Saturday, I glanced at my shoulder and noticed a cluster of protruding white spots!  It was a downright scary sight. Even though I'd applied sunscreen, the sun penetrated that guard rail.  I consulted on-site staff who found it horrible. But, one said she'd had the same issue and that it was a heat rash.

So, I headed home, consulted the Internet and self diagnosed that it was heat rash.

I applied every cream in my medicine cabinet:  CBD Oil, Neosporin, Cocoa Butter -- whatever.  And, I waited for the magic to take hold.

VOILA!

Next day, only trace evidence of the splotches so everything worked.

There's nothing you can do if you put sunscreen on and thought I'd done everything right. But, at least I know that with a combo of creams, the splotch will only last a day.
