How to cure prickly heat in children?

Children like to play together and sometimes they will often run out to play regardless of the summer heat, so the possibility of getting prickly heat is relatively high. Once prickly heat appears, children will feel very itchy and uncomfortable, so parents play an important role at this time and must provide adequate care. Now the editor will give some suggestions, and I hope that parents can read them carefully.

1. Change clothes and take a bath more often. After a child develops prickly heat, he will continue to sweat. The itching and pain caused by the sweat stimulating the prickly heat will lead to unstable sleep and be very uncomfortable. In order to prevent the skin from being continuously soaked with sweat, once you notice that your child is sweating, you need to change his clothes and bathe him in time to keep his skin clean and fresh. The clothes you choose should preferably be pure cotton clothes that are breathable, have better sweat absorption properties and are less irritating. Adult toiletries are highly alkaline and can remove the natural protective film on children's skin, making the situation worse. Therefore, it is best to use a shampoo and shower gel containing natural ingredients such as calendula, chamomile, and macadamia seed oil.

2. Use talcum powder to keep your skin dry. The most important thing to do when caring for children's prickly heat is to keep the skin dry. Therefore, in addition to drying your body carefully after bathing, you also need to apply talcum powder on your body. One thing parents need to remember is that when applying talcum powder, they need to turn over the wrinkles of the skin to avoid missing any. Once these places are soaked in water vapor for a long time, dermatitis and even skin ulcers are likely to occur. When parents choose talcum powder, it is best to choose natural talcum powder made from plant-based corn starch, which can relieve the itching, stinging and other discomforts caused by prickly heat.

Now I believe that parents already know how to deal with the problem of children getting prickly heat, so don’t panic when you find it, you can follow the editor’s suggestions step by step to take care of it. However, if the symptoms are more serious, the editor would like to remind parents that they should consult a doctor before taking medication.
