Once the sweat hole is blocked and sweating is not smooth, it is easy to grow heat rash. Babies have delicate skin and their sweat glands are not yet fully developed, so they are most likely to suffer. Some parents find that their babies have prickly heat, so they habitually put flower lotion or prickly heat powder on their babies, not knowing that this is not always appropriate. The baby’s skin is delicate and the sweat glands are still developing, so when the sweat does not evaporate quickly, the sweat will impregnate the cuticle of the epidermis, leading to the occlusion of the sweat gland ducts and the retention of sweat, and when the internal pressure increases and rupture occurs, the sweat will penetrate into the surrounding skin tissue, causing irritation until heat rash is produced. A, prickly heat powder is not good or help “prickly heat” for the abuse Parents know that the arrival of summer baby prickly heat is easy to grow. Some parents, in order to prevent their babies from growing prickly heat, even when the baby’s skin does not appear to be a problem, they begin to wipe the powder. The powder only absorbs moisture, lubricates and astringent, it cannot eliminate prickly heat itself, nor can it stop the growth of prickly heat, so whether it is talcum powder or food starch, the safety and effects are similar. In general, if the symptoms of prickly heat are light, the child will have some effect with prickly heat powder, but for children with hot and humid bodies and heavy symptoms, the treatment is not the root cause. In addition, the powder will block the pores after the prickly heat has developed and may cause skin infection. In fact, as long as the symptoms of heat rash are not serious, the heat rash will subside on its own when the temperature drops and the environment is dry and ventilated. If the symptoms of itchy skin appear, you can use stovepipe lotion for scrubbing. If pustular prickly heat manifests itself and the bacterial infection is more serious, some anti-allergy drugs can be used for treatment. If you don’t have a clear grasp of the symptoms, you should still seek medical attention and follow the treatment advice of a professional doctor. If the diagnosis is clear, for some mild prickly heat can try natural treatment under the guidance of a dermatologist, such as the following three external treatment methods: 1, honeysuckle water external application method: honeysuckle 6 grams, soak in boiling water for about an hour, to cotton swabs or gauze dipped in honeysuckle soaking solution lightly wipe the affected area, three times a day; 2, melon skin external rubbing method: fresh winter melon appropriate amount, peeled and sliced, external rubbing 3, melon rind external rubbing method: eat finished watermelon, cut off the red flesh part, and cut into small pieces convenient to hold, repeatedly lightly rub the prickly heat, two or three times a day rub. People with hot and humid bodies can try dietary therapy under the guidance of herbalists, drinking more mung bean soup, winter melon soup, loofah soup, etc., all of which have the effect of clearing heat and dispelling summer heat. The prevention of prickly heat is important to pay attention to the details of life Prevention of prickly heat, you can start from diet, dress, home environment and other aspects. First of all, the home should be ventilated and the room temperature should be kept at 25~26℃. If the humidity is high, you can turn on the dehumidification function of the air conditioner and adjust the humidity to about 60 to help your baby sweat. Secondly, it is best for babies to wear cotton clothes that are soft and loose. Third, the baby sweats a lot in the summer, usually two or three times a day to bathe, sweating in time to dry. Fourth, let the baby drink more water, plain water is best, do not drink sugary drinks. If the drink is too greasy, the child is easy to get on fire. Some parents like to give their children with heat rash a bath with cool water or water below body temperature, which can cause the capillaries on the skin to suddenly contract and the sweat gland holes to close, leading to more serious heat rash.
