Correct. That is why when it is hot , I put rubbing alcohol on the tops of my feet, sides of my neck, and back/inside of my knees

When it is that hot, any relief, however fleeting, is appreciated. Alcohol will flash off, but takes some of your body heat with it. It is enough to help if you are having problems falling asleep, and if you're awake, slather on some more Alcohol when it dries.
