Rough skin after baby prickly heat should be kept as clean and moisturized as possible, and can be relieved by the use of glycerite and moisturizing creams, or weak glucocorticosteroids in severe cases. After prickly heat, babies can develop small skin papules, which make the skin rough. You should try to wear loose clothing to avoid moisture, and you can use topical medications such as glycerite lotion and moisturizing cream to relieve the symptoms. Generally, prickly heat can gradually subside when the symptoms are mild. If prickly heat symptoms are severe and difficult to recover, you can also use glucocorticoids for treatment, such as applying hydrocortisone ointment. If your baby’s prickly heat is severe, you should go to the hospital in time and follow your doctor’s instructions when using the above medications.
