About.com defines heat bumps as a condition caused by blocked sweat glands. The sweat causes moisture that sits in the skin and becomes blocked, making it vulnerable to bacteria, yeast and fungus, which makes bumps form. Heat bumps are not a serious condition, but they can become infected.

About.com states that prickly heat is another term for the rash that causes heat bumps. Heat bumps are often found on the back, chest, legs and chest. About.com states that the best cure for heat bumps is prevention, which includes leaving as much skin uncovered as possible, frequent cool water rinsings and avoiding the heat.
