A sweat rash starts as slight redness and irritation on the skin under the compression guard. After 24-hours, the swelling and inflammation intensify, as well as the itching symptoms.

Treatment for the rash includes using calamine lotion to soothe the itching symptoms, and anti-bacterial cream to prevent infection.
