Heat rash, also known as prickly heat, occurs when sweat gets trapped under the skin.
Symptoms of heat rash include redness, itchiness, and small bumps on the skin.
To prevent heat rash, stay in cool places and avoid excessive sweating.
Wear loose-fitting clothing made of breathable fabrics like cotton.
Take cool showers or baths to help lower your body temperature.
Use a mild soap when washing your skin, and avoid using harsh soaps that can irritate the skin.
If the rash does not go away within a few days, or if it becomes infected, seek medical attention.
To avoid heat rash in infants, dress them in loose-fitting clothing and keep them in cool places.
