Home Remedies for PRICKLY HEAT

PRICKLY HEAT

Prickly heat or heat rash is an irritating eruption of the skin due to obstruction of the sweat glands over certain areas of the body. It's most common in infants. Newborns are particularly vulnerable to prickly heat because their sweat ducts are not mature, which makes it easier for the beads of moisture to be trapped.
Prickly heat usually starts around the neck.

Rashes can appear anywhere in the body of an affected person but commonly can be seen at the following body parts:

feet
back
neck
groin
hands
armpits
abdomen
upper chest
