What should I do if my baby has prickly heat in his hair?

The weather in summer is relatively hot, especially for babies who are prone to sweating and have long hair, so many prickly heat will grow in their hair. This is not good for the baby's skin development and may even breed some bacteria and cause other diseases. The baby's body is relatively weak, and they cannot express the itching of their body clearly. So let us understand together what to do if the baby has prickly heat in his hair.

If prickly heat occurs on the head and neck, the child's hair should be cut short in the hot summer, or the hair should be combed back as much as possible, not leaving hair on the forehead. If it is a baby, it is better to shave the hair.

Take a bath with warm water, and adding a few drops of floral water will have a better effect. Rinse and dry your body, then sprinkle some powder on it to relieve itching. When bathing, avoid rubbing the areas with prickly heat to prevent skin abrasions and infection.

Do not use soap when taking a bath to reduce irritation. If you must use it, choose a soap with less alkalinity.
