Cure Prickly Heat Rash - Treatment
Definition Prickly heat is a very itchy red skin rash, causing a prickling or burning feeling. It is medically known as miliaria. Prickly heat develops when the narrow ducts carrying sweat to the skin surface get clogged. The trapped sweat causes inflammation, which produces irritation (prickling), itching, and a rash of very tiny blisters. Prickly heat also can appear as large, reddened areas of skin. If you are overweight or sweat easily you are more likely to have prickly heat. The rash is most commonly where there is friction with clothes also on the hands, feet, under the arms and the chest. Treating heat rash is simple and usually does not require medical assistance. Other heat-related problems can be much more severe. In a similar mild condition called miliaria crystalina, instead of small rashes, there are tiny blisters that look like beads of perspiration. Causes
