I just started basketball on monday, so I have been sweating more than normal!. There are red lines on both arms on the insides of my elbows!. The areas are very irritated and it hurts to touch them!. They are flaky too!. Is this heat rash!? If not what is it and how do I get rid of it!? If it is than how do I get rid of heat rash!?

Answers:
I'm not a medical professional but I know that sometimes sports equipment that isn't cleaned regularly can carry bacteria and fungus!. If this happened when you started basketball I would suspect that you have picked up something from the b'ball itself!.Especially since it's on the inside of your arms!. Have you noticed any of the other players with a similar rash!? Make sure the ball you use is clean and ask your coach or team manager to assign this task to someone before every game and practice!. There have been many cases of athletes getting MRSA(antibiotic resistant staph bacteria) from unclean equipment!. The red lines you describe sound like it could be something serious!. See a doctor to find out what it is!. There's no need to be embarrassed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
