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
