Heat rash occurs when sweat gets trapped in blocked pores, causing itchy, red bumps-especially in hot, humid weather.
Quick Relief Tips
– Cool the skin: Take cool showers and stay in air-conditioned spaces
– Wear loose, breathable clothes to reduce sweating
– Use calamine lotion or aloe vera to soothe irritation
– Apply a cold compress for quick relief
– Try oatmeal or baking soda baths to reduce itching
Recovery
Heat rash usually clears within a few days if the skin is kept cool and dry.
When to See a Doctor
– Rash lasts more than a week
– Signs of infection (pus, swelling, pain)
– Child has fever or unusual symptoms
Key Tip
Stay cool, stay dry, and avoid excessive sweating to prevent heat rash.
