What is the best way to treat prickly heat in children?

Every child is the apple of his or her parents’ eyes, and parents will do their best to make their children’s lives better. The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, and children are also more likely to get prickly heat. Children with prickly heat always feel itchy all over their body. So, how should we treat prickly heat on children? Next, let’s take a look at some detailed information.

In summer, the temperature is high, the humidity is high, and the feeling of being stuffy and hot is uncomfortable even for adults, not to mention that babies whose body temperature regulation function is not yet perfect, rely on a large amount of sweat secretion to dissipate heat in order to regulate their body temperature. Therefore, it is easy to understand why children sweat a lot in summer.

When a child sweats, the sweat pores are soaked with sweat. The baby's skin is delicate, the stratum corneum is thin, and the skin surface is not clean, which determines that he is prone to inflammation in this situation. Once the sweat pores are inflamed, it will inevitably hinder sweating. Due to inflammation, dense, red millet-like rashes can be seen on the surface of the child's skin, which is what we commonly call prickly heat.

Generally speaking, prickly heat is most likely to occur on children, but some adults with delicate skin, obesity, excessive sweating or weak constitutions can also develop prickly heat. Except for the soles of the feet, palms and other parts with thick skin, prickly heat can occur on all parts of the body. To prevent itching, it is mainly necessary to pay attention to skin hygiene, take a bath frequently, and change clothes frequently. People who are prone to prickly heat should dry themselves after taking a bath, and then apply a little talcum powder or prickly heat powder. Do not eat too much, and eat less sugar and high-fat foods, which can prevent the occurrence of prickly heat.

In fact, there are many ways to prevent children from getting prickly heat, such as adding ten drops of water or mint to the water when bathing, applying Johnson's heat powder or baby gold water after washing, and not covering with clothes and directly contacting with air.

It is a very common phenomenon for children to get prickly heat. Parents do not need to worry too much. They should pay more attention to their children's living environment in normal times. When your child has prickly heat, you should bathe him/her more often and change his/her clothes frequently. You can buy some less irritating toners, such as Liushen Eau de Cologne, and also pay attention to a reasonable diet.
