For children with prickly heat, parents need to remove excess clothing to dissipate the heat, and apply prickly heat powder or glycerite lotion after bathing to cool the skin and relieve itching. Prickly heat is a common inflammatory skin disease that occurs in hot and humid environments during the summer months. It is mainly characterized by blisters and pimples on the skin, and can usually subside on its own after the surrounding environment is ventilated and cooled down. When prickly heat occurs, parents need to remove children’s extra clothing to dissipate the heat, indoor air conditioning or fans can be used to cool down the temperature, and after taking a bath, you can apply topical prickly heat powder or glycerite lotion to relieve the itch.
