Heat rash generally refers to prickly heat. Children with prickly heat can be improved by general treatment and medication.
1. General treatment: Parents should create a good living environment for their children and regulate the temperature appropriately, such as using air conditioners and fans. In addition, the child’s skin should be cooled down if necessary, such as using wet wipes to wipe the child’s body. Try to choose breathable and loose clothing for the child. When sweating more, pay attention to bathing to keep the skin hygienic and clean.
2. Medication: You can apply prickly heat powder after bathing, but pay attention to timely cleaning to prevent prickly heat powder and sweat from forming a paste to block pores. If the itching is obvious, pay attention not to scratch the affected area, parents can apply peppermint glycerite lotion for children under the guidance of medical advice, which has the effect of cooling and relieving itching.
If a child has prickly heat, parents are advised to take the child to a regular hospital and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
