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.

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!

Miliaria is a common ailment in hot and humid conditions, such as in the tropics and during the summer season.

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 t itchy and looks like slightly raised red dots - a bit like a headless pimple. I put the rash down to the extreme heat and all the sweating I was doing climbing mountains and what not. While passing through Shanghai I decided to let my travel insurance pay for a trip to an English-speaking GP who had a look at the rash and prescribed me 24-hr mometasone furoate cream and advised I wore cotton underwear etc.
Avatar n tn Also i should note i have been suffering with some form of prickly heat or miliaria. Only thing is i never had a rash. Do you think it could be something as simple as clogged sweat glands? Like if i was to start going to a sauna could that help?

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 I always get a rash on my legs from doing too much walking in the heat. But that was before treatment.
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 f tn Sounds like prickly heat. I think this tends to be more of a problem with fair skin. The only treatment I know of is to keep cool and dry, so be careful not to overdress. A very annoying problem. Look it up on the internet.
