Answers:
Prickly heat...it's miserable...there's a lot of home remedies that can help, but I'd call the doc and get some medical advice first. I had it once, and I was told to use some over the counter anti itch cream...Hydrocortisone I think it was, but the doc can give you a better one that will offer immediate relief.

Other Answers:
It's called prickly heat. The affected areas are near and around your greatest area of circulation, your heart. and other major arteries. Its your body saying, " Cool it!"
The best thing to do is calm down, drink plenty of water, and if it's really bad try some Benedryl, *over the counter antihistamine. Plain corn starch kept in a cool freezer and sprinkled on will cool the burn for you inexpensively and efficiently. You can also try a little baking soda in your bath. Home remedies can be the cheapest and best sonetimes.
