Are you sure its a heat rash? If its taking a while to heal it could be an allergic reaction or yeast. I hope someone comes by to help soon.

all his clothes are 100% cotton..probably 1/2 of them organic cotton.
i do think its heat rash. im on probiotics and have been putting celendula and baby powder (no talc) on him after showers. im using goat's milk soap for him (for babies).
im not sure it ISNT something else, but i think its heatrash..its mainly under his neck...he's 7 months old and about 20 lbs. so he's got some flab there as he's not the skinniest baby!

i have thought it may be an allergy to food but im not sure about that. we have experimented with some foods lately...mango for several weeks, green peas the last week or so, and he's had sweet pot's for several weeks ago (the chips made by me). i really dont think its a food allergy b/c i think i woudl have seen it earlier if it were.
its getting to be a real drag though.
i bought some Aveeno stuff that says its anti-itch yesterday and put it on him. it said something about oatmeal...cant remember the name. it stinks! but i do think he scratched less last night. i just dont like the stuff b/c i know it has a bunch of crap in it.

My DS and I are both prone to heat rash. We both pretty much have it all summer. Good thing we live in WI, where summer is short.

As far as I know there isn't anything you can do to prevent heat rash, or make it go away. It is an inflammatory response to heat, so the only way to prevent it is to avoid heat.
To help alleviate the itching with something natural, maybe you can try fresh aloe, olive oil, cocoa butter, or pure vitamin E oil. I've never tried anything, but that is just what comes to mind.
