A regular heat rash is caused by hot sweat trapped under the skin instead of getting excreted out the body. This could be because of excessive sweating (sweat layer blocks the rest of the sweat from coming out) or clothing constricting the evaporation of sweat or dirt blocking the ducts. A fungal rash is completely different and would look a bit different than a regular heat rash although it usually shows itself in the same places that heat rash usually shows up.
A regular heat rash can be prevented/minimized with powdering with corn starch... okay, okay, it's what Filipinos do. And as I've grown up with heat rash and corn starch, I know it works on regular occurrences (there's excessive occurrences too that would require medical intervention).
We ended up finding the cause, it was a shampoo of all things causing the rash. Specifically Suave for oily hair. This was a long time ago and ever since we changed his shampoo and after many remedies and doctor appts that is what it was! he rarely gets one anymore. Only during times of high stress. It could have been a combo of hormones and the shampoo, I think he was about 13 at the time. He's 15 now.
