Heat rash (miliaria)

Heat rash, also known as miliaria or prickly heat, is a skin condition that occurs when sweat glands become blocked, leading to the trapping of sweat beneath the skin. It is most common in hot and humid climates but can also occur during physical activity or if the skin is overdressed and unable to properly ventilate. Heat rash typically affects areas of the body covered by clothing or where skin-to-skin contact occurs.

Here are some key points about heat rash:

1.     Causes: Heat rash develops when sweat ducts become clogged or blocked, preventing sweat from evaporating and leading to inflammation. This can be caused by factors such as hot and humid weather, overdressing, physical activity, or the use of heavy creams or lotions that block the sweat ducts.

2.     Symptoms: The symptoms of heat rash can vary depending on the severity and type of the rash. Common symptoms include:

·       Small red bumps or blisters

·       Itching or prickling sensation

·       Mild swelling

·       In some cases, a "prickly" or stinging sensation

3.     Types: Heat rash can be classified into three main types based on the depth at which the sweat ducts are blocked:

·       Miliaria crystallina: This is the mildest form and affects the most superficial sweat ducts, resulting in tiny, clear, fluid-filled blisters that easily rupture.

·       Miliaria rubra: This type affects deeper sweat ducts and leads to red, inflamed bumps or blisters that may be itchy or prickly.

·       Miliaria profunda: This is the least common and most severe form. It occurs when sweat leaks into the deeper layers of the skin, causing large, flesh-colored, firm bumps.

4.     Treatment and Prevention: Treatment for heat rash focuses on relieving symptoms and preventing further irritation. Consider the following measures:

·       Move to a cooler and less humid environment.

·       Wear loose, breathable clothing.

·       Keep the affected areas clean and dry.

·       Avoid the use of heavy creams or ointments on affected areas.

·       Apply cool compresses or take cool showers to soothe the skin.

·       Over-the-counter calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream may help relieve itching and inflammation.

·       In severe cases, or if the rash becomes infected, a healthcare professional may prescribe topical or oral medications.

Preventing heat rash involves avoiding excessive heat and humidity, wearing lightweight and breathable clothing, and ensuring adequate ventilation and air circulation. It's important to stay hydrated and take breaks in cool environments, especially during hot weather or physical activity.

If symptoms persist, worsen, or become accompanied by signs of infection (such as increased redness, warmth, swelling, or pus), it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and appropriate treatme
