Prickly heat on toddlers usually disappears quickly after the skin is cooled, cleaned and dried and treated, while severe cases can be treated with medication to relieve the discomfort.
Keep the lesion area cool and dry, and wear loose, breathable cotton clothing whenever possible. Cold compresses can also be applied to the lesion area to help soothe and calm the skin and stop the itching, and the prickly heat will usually subside gradually.
Medications are mainly topical medications. For severe cases, cool itch-relieving lotions or powders such as glycerite lotion can be used; for red prickly heat, glucocorticoid medications such as hydrocortisone can be used. Antibiotic ointments such as erythromycin cream and mupirocin cream can be used for pus rash.
Oral medications are often used for those with obvious itching symptoms, but antihistamines such as loratadine and cetirizine hydrochloride can be used.
If the skin lesions on the young child are serious and do not subside for many days, it is recommended to consult a doctor for standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor. The above drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid buying drugs on your own.
