Heat Rash

Heat rash, also known as prickly heat or miliaria, is a skin condition that occurs when sweat becomes trapped in blocked pores, leading to inflammation. Here’s how to identify it:

1. Small Red Bumps: Heat rash appears as clusters of tiny red bumps, often on areas where sweat tends to accumulate, like the neck, chest, back, armpits, or skin folds.
2. Prickling or Itchy Sensation: The rash often causes a prickling, stinging, or itchy sensation, especially in warm or humid conditions.
3. Blisters or Clear Bumps: In some cases, heat rash may look like tiny, clear, fluid-filled blisters. These are a sign of trapped sweat under the skin.
4. Location: It typically shows up on areas that are covered or have friction, such as where clothing rubs against the skin or in skin folds (e.g., neck, underarms, diaper area).
5. Worsens with Heat: Symptoms may worsen in hot, humid environments or during activities that cause excessive sweating.

Here are simple, concise care tips for heat rash:

1. Keep Baby Cool: Dress in loose, breathable clothes and use fans or air conditioning.
2. Give Lukewarm Baths: Bathe your baby in cool water and with gentle cleanser free from harsh chemical, and gently pat dry, don’t rub.
3. Use Light Cream: Apply a mild soothing cream free from harsh chemicals on affected areas at least twice a day.
4. Monitor for Infection: Watch for signs of infection like pus or fever, and consult a doctor if needed.
