Prickly heat is a skin disease that infants and young children are very prone to. It is similar to eczema. When the weather is hot, children are very prone to prickly heat. In this case, you need to have a certain understanding of prickly heat, especially the main areas where prickly heat appears. Once a similar situation is found, take effective measures to deal with it in time. So, where do prickly heat rash appear? Let’s take a look below.

Usually they are in the gaps, such as the neck, armpits, thighs, etc. Regularly bathing and changing your baby's clothes can prevent prickly heat.

There are four types of prickly heat: 1. White prickly heat is common on the neck and trunk. Slight itching is common in patients with high fever, weak constitution, long-term bed rest, and heavy sweating. 2. Red prickly heat often occurs on the neck, chest, back, waist, elbows, armpits, under the breasts, in infants and young children, and on buttocks, often appearing in groups symmetrically. 3. Purulent prickly heat often occurs in skin folds and is also common on the head and neck of children. 4. Patients with deep prickly heat and recurrent red prickly heat are susceptible to this disease. In daily life, please keep your skin clean and dry, and avoid bathing with soaps that are too alkaline. Wear loose cotton clothes that are breathable.

To prevent babies from getting prickly heat in summer, parents need to pay attention to the following issues:

(1) Make sure your baby drinks plenty of water, especially cold boiled water. You can also drink mung bean soup and other refreshing drinks regularly, eat light and easily digestible food, and eat less greasy and irritating food.

(2) When going out, parents should prepare sun hats, parasols, children's sunglasses, etc. for their children, and apply children's sunscreen to exposed skin.

(3) Babies should wear thin, breathable pajamas and sleep on a breathable mat. Do not let your baby sleep on plastic sheets or strip your baby naked to avoid direct skin irritation.

(4) Parents should pay attention to skin hygiene. If you see your child sweating profusely, you should remind him to wipe off the sweat in time. At the same time, make sure he takes a bath and changes clothes frequently to keep his skin clean and dry.

(5) Parents should also pay attention to ventilation of the environment to avoid overheating. When the temperature is too high, they can use air conditioning to lower the indoor temperature.

(6) In the hot summer, do not hold your baby in your arms all the time. Try to let your baby play alone on a cool mat to avoid him/her staying in your arms for a long time, which will cause poor heat dissipation and heat rash.
