In the summer, the body sweats a lot because of the heat, so the epidermis is impregnated with sweat for a long time, and the accumulated dirt on the skin clogs the openings of the sweat glands, which leads to prickly heat. The disease is more common in children because of their delicate skin and immature sweat glands, so sweat is not easily discharged and evaporated. It usually appears as erythema on the scalp, forehead, neck, chest, armpits, thighs and other sweat-prone areas, followed by pinpoint papules or blisters, and the patient usually feels itchy. Prevention and treatment tips: pay attention to indoor ventilation, cooling, clothing should be wide, soft and absorbent, pay attention to often take a bath, sweat and dry in time.
