Miliaria (Heat Rash): When Sweat Gets Trapped Under the Skin •Miliaria, commonly known as heat rash or prickly heat, is a skin condition that occurs when sweat ducts become blocked, trapping sweat beneath the skin. •It is common in hot and humid weather and can affect both children and adults.•Symptoms include tiny red bumps, itching, prickling sensation, mild swelling, and irritation, especially on the neck, chest, back, underarms, and skin folds.•Heat rash is usually caused by excessive sweating, tight clothing, high temperatures, and humid environments. •Babies are more prone to it because their sweat glands are not fully developed.•Treatment includes keeping the skin cool and dry, wearing loose cotton clothing, avoiding excessive heat, and using soothing lotions or medicated creams if needed.• Most cases improve quickly with proper care.•At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide effective treatment and skincare guidance to manage heat rash and prevent recurrence during hot weather conditions.#HeatRash #Miliaria #SkinCare #HealthySkin ✨
