Newborn baby with prickly heat on face

When summer comes, babies are most likely to get prickly heat. This is because children are easily excited, and crying and shouting can cause small bumps all over their bodies. In order to solve this problem, parents should find suitable working methods in their daily lives. They can use some small folk remedies for treatment and also pay attention to skin cleansing.

What should I do if my baby has prickly heat?

First of all, parents should be careful not to use floral water directly to wipe the baby's skin, because floral water contains alcohol, which is very irritating to the baby's skin. The baby's skin is still very delicate. Using floral water may cause the baby unbearable pain and make the baby cry even more.

Secondly, babies may get prickly heat because their clothes are too thick and not breathable, so when babies get prickly heat, make sure to let the baby breathe. The baby's room should also be ventilated and kept cool as much as possible.

Again, mothers should pay attention to keeping their babies clean. Mothers should bathe their babies and wipe off the water droplets on their babies to keep their bodies dry. In addition, mothers can use some special baby powder to calm and relieve itching for babies.

Finally, mothers can also add a few drops of floral water to the bath water when bathing their baby, and then wash the baby's body. When mixed with bath water, it will not irritate the skin of infants and young children, and it can also play a good anti-inflammatory role.

Mothers should understand that care is very important when babies have prickly heat.

How to take care of baby's prickly heat

If your baby has prickly heat, care is very important! Parents should understand that babies get prickly heat mainly because they cannot sweat normally. Therefore, when babies get prickly heat, they must pay attention to the following care.

1. Ventilation

We all know that babies get prickly heat mostly due to excessive sweating in hot and humid weather. Therefore, when a baby gets prickly heat, it is particularly important to keep the baby in a ventilated environment. In summer, you must use air conditioning or electric fans for your baby. For babies under one year old, parents should not hold them in their arms all day. Instead, they can lay a mat in a cool and ventilated place and let the child play by himself. But avoid exposing your baby to strong sunlight and do not let your child play in the sun.

2. Cleaning

1. Baby's prickly heat is related to heat and humidity. Therefore, if prickly heat occurs on the head and neck, the baby's hair should be cut short, and it is best to shave the baby's head.

2. When the weather is hot, parents should ensure that their baby is bathed with warm water 2-3 times a day to keep the skin clean. In addition, most of the prickly heat in infants and young children grow on the neck, chest, back, armpits, forehead and other parts of the body. Parents should pay attention to bathing their children frequently or wiping off sweat with a warm towel.
