Common Questions and Answers about Heat rash and babies

heat

Avatar n tn How are you? Heat rash is also known as prickly heat and miliaria. This is usually seen in babies but it also affects up to a third of adults living in tropical climates or during hot, humid weather. This develops when your sweat ducts become blocked and perspiration is trapped under your skin. Heat rash looks like a red cluster of pimples or small blisters that maybe associated with itching.
338963 tn?1253660822 IT SHOULD GO AWAY ON ITS OWN AND COULD BE HEAT RASH BECAUSE BABIES DONT REGULATE HEAT OR COLD THE WAY WE DO SO EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY THINK HE IS NOT IN THE HEAT JUST YOU HOLDING HIM OR SWADDLING HIM IN A BLANKET COULD BE THE CAUSE.
Avatar f tn The really hot days stay inside. Your baby might get heat rash, diaper rash and baby acne because of the heat. Babies are made to survive so just keep an eye out and watch for cues.
Avatar n tn My question, can a heat rash last for this long? Its been in the same place and has never spread. Its definately gets worse in the heat, it itches like crazy.

Avatar f tn I know you can get heat rashes on your upper body and on your feet. But can you get them on your legs on areas such as inner thighs and shins? Everytime it's warm up or humid, I always get this rash looking thing on my legs. My legs start to break out so bad. And I have tried lotion, but it hurts or burns especially after i shave. And sometimes i would put lotion after i shave, and it hurts. But my question is why do i get strange rash looking things on my legs?
Avatar f tn I havent eaten anything that i dont usually eat and i have been rubbing antihistimine cream on it and iv been taking antihistimine tablets to stop the itching but it is still re occuring in a morning could this be a heat rash? i havent changed my washing powder either. It is making me quite worried and would like to no what it is it is only on the inside of my thighs and top of my feet. My partner has not got it and he sleeps in the same bed. Hope u can help.
Avatar n tn it may also be heat rash, but the benedryl and bactine would do him no harm if you give them and they are not what is needed. a cold wash cloth works well on hives and heat rash.
Avatar f tn Then when my skin gets hot the redness comes back in the same exact spots. I believe my skin is extra sensitive to the heat because if I go out in the sun and my rash is covered, it will flare up due to heat rather sun exposure. Also, the same bumps appear every time. This past vacation, my right thigh got the worst of it. My left thigh wasn't as bad and then my core and upper arms got the rash pretty bad too. It's so frustrating. Why does this happen and why now?!
773801 tn?1244520679 However, every summer I get a heat rash on both arms that itches and irritates me. Why do I get a heat rash even when I am not in the sun? It can be a rash one minute and then it will clear up another and soon as my body gets hot the rash comes back. Is there something I can put on it besides lotion that will help my arms stay cool or to make it go away by itself?
Avatar m tn So what I would like to know is how I can prevent this heat rash and/or unblock my sweat ducts. I have read all over the internet that the best way to prevent heat rash is to avoid hot, humid areas and exercise, but that is absolutely absurd to me - there is no way I'm giving up exercise, and I can't escape the hot weather here in Australia, haha. Is there anything I can do?
Avatar n tn id like to know the answer to that also because ever since i moved to a hotter climate iv had a rash on chest and back and i think its prickly heat rash because i sweat alot more now but iv had it for almost a year!!!
Avatar f tn Hi! I've had a recurrent rash for over 4 years now. Actually, I think it is there year-long but flares in the early spring (Feb/March) and is more visible and itchy throughout the summer, returning to a low level in the fall and winter. The sequence is as follows: in Feb/Mar I get red circular patches at the corner of my mouth running down diagonally between mu chin and cheek (mostly on one side). I may get other small flares, but this is the main patch.

Some babies are just rash prone, my niece got a rash from cloth diapers and regular diapers! I've had good luck with Luv's and they're cheaper! So it was a bonus! Good luck either way!
Avatar n tn The most important thing is to not wear perfume in the first place. Trust me, as long as you don't smell bad, no one cares. And some of us much prefer it when people forgo the perfume (it burns my nose). I would not put neosporin on heat rash if it's not infected. You want the area to stay nice and dry, not all gooey, and there's no need for the antibiotics if you don't have open sores. I've never heard of baking soda being any good.
Avatar f tn I'm due 9/24, and the heat is killing me too!!! And on top of that, I've been short of breath and having back and sciatic nerve pain. Sept needs to hurry!!
15311409 tn?1439780092 I'm not sure what kind of rash this is, but if it's all over as you describe then it's probably a reaction to something externally. If the rash develops into open pimples or blisters or wounds, they will undoubtedly get infected very quickly, so I would get her to a vet for a full assessment and treatment.
Avatar n tn Prednisolone was for heat rash and my itchy dots. Today I reduce to 10mg a day and tomorrow 10mg and next 5mg and that's it. I've been taking Prednisolone for 3 and half days so far. The main problem at the moment is just the burning face and neck, specially cheeks just under my eyes and under the chin. The burning once goes from one cheek to another or to the neck or everywhere at the same time. Is it normal in such cases? Thank you.
Avatar f tn I swear I get so hot I sleep with the ac and a fan no blanket and naked!!! Lol any other march babies out there !!! And are you feeling hot too or is it just me?
Avatar n tn One should also contact a doctor if the rash seems worse and fever is present. In most cases, prickly heat will resolve within a few weeks without medical attention or intervention. Regards.
Avatar m tn the more i learned the more i thought heat rash was the culprit. so, i went out and bought a benadryl and ...within four days, the rash was gone. thanks so much for your response, though. ...gives me faith in this site.
