Suggest Remedy For Rashes In Hips & Waist

My son developed a red rash with welps beginning on his hip and now around waist line, other hip & beginning behind one knee. Took him to doctor who said it was a heat rash & to try corn starch & if that doesn t help then to begin steroid treatment. Does this sound correct? He does sweat a lot bc he is in welding school. Suggestions?
