Avatar n tn Miliaria (miliaria rubra, sweat rash or prickly heat) is a skin disease marked by small and itchy rashes. Miliaria is a common ailment in hot and humid conditions, such as in the tropics and during the summer season. ' 'The prevention and treatment of miliaria primarily consists of controlling heat and humidity so that sweating is not stimulated.
Avatar m tn In all my internet searches I read that heat rash or prickly heat was caused when the sweat ducts got clogged or compressed not allowing the sweat to evaporate and seep into the skin causing redness ? I am confused ?
Avatar m tn Does Prickly Heat rash form whiteheads, I woke up this morning with a rash on my upper chest (above pecs) and upper back (triangle between neck and shoulder blades). The chest is just red bumps the back on the other hand is quite raised and has hundreds (not kidding) of whiteheads, it is not terribly itchy but I definitely can tell something is going on back there. I presume it is Prickly Heat as I moved to S.
Avatar m tn It has never happened before prior to the encounter with the female as I described. Still no rash, just prickly feeeling. I do sweat alot during workouts and the sensation goes away if I shave my chest area but returns 2 weeks later. I took another HIV test at 5.5 months to rule out that as well. Just have no other idea what it could be. Do you have any other opinion? Do you believe it is related to my encounter or just coincidence? Thank you for your imput.
Avatar n tn Hello, Without examination it is very difficult to confirm a diagnosis, but the symptoms are suggestive of prickly heat(malaria) or sweat dermatitis. Prickly heat (miliaria) is an itchy skin rash caused by trapped sweat. It tends to occur on areas of the body where skin touches skin, such as under the breasts, on the inner thighs, and under the arms. Tiny red spots with itching and pricking sensation are the characteristic appearance of this rash.

Avatar n tn Baking soda/powder baths or you can put baking soda/powder or corn starch on the rash it will suck out the heat. I get prickly heat rash every summer and the cool bath with baking soda helps tremendously. Good luck I know it *****!
Avatar n tn As you originally stated - it just may be Miliaria/Prickly Heat/Sweat rash.. If the small papules are on your back, they may be flesh colored and unnoticable. Prickly heat can be mild to severe. I get this sometimes when the water is too hot. Have someone look at your back after you have gotten out of the shower.
Avatar n tn Thanks girls! I'll try anything!
Avatar m tn The rash on her was not itchy nor red just small raised prickly bumps that looked like heat rash but it was not all that hot out. Well over the next week her rash started to spread over her whole arm into her arm pit, the crease of her arm diaper area. We took her to the doctors and they gave her Claritin (which she has been on for 3 months), Azithromycin and Prednisone but the rash kept spreading across her back down her legs and started getting red, really itchy, and sore.

Avatar n tn Hello, If the small bumps are itchy then prickly heat or heat rash is an important possibility. Another possibility is of sweat dermatitis. Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime. Use a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Also use cotton clothes and change the clothes twice if there is any increased sweating. Try keeping the skin free of sweat as far as possible. If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.
Avatar n tn Turns out to be prickly heat rash, day three and starting to fade. She had a heat rash, we worked up a real sweat, and heat rash is now confirmed another STD. Although this wasn't to bad a price to pay for the time spent. All other situations considered. Thank you everybody and love this room for the info.
Avatar n tn Crohn's disease is an autoimmune syndrome. Sometimes autoimmune syndromes can come in pairs or groups. It sounds to me (I'm not a doctor) that the rosacea-like rash on your face could have been a "butterfly" rash which is a classic symptom of Lupus. The rash can be widespread and gets worse in sunlight. I suggest you make an appointment with your gp and bring up the possibility of Lupus. Good luck, Friend.
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.
Avatar m tn Thx - I have no signs of rash on my scrotum area - it is just feeling very uncomfortable and irritated for some reason. Looks completely normal besides that. Can heat rash like you describe lead to scrotum sensitivity too? I was told when I got my last STD testing done that I'd for sure test positive for HSV since I get cold sores - so they said no point.
Avatar m tn Sounds more like prickly heat rash. Once you get this the top layer of the skin becomes damaged and often cronic condition of reappearing rashes show up.
