How Can Sweat Rashes, Itching And Fluid Leakage From The Rash Be Treated?

I have a sweat rash, and due to the itching it has now started to leak with clear fluid.I went to the chemist and they gave me a cream to reduce the itching and redness however the skin isn’t being able to heal correctly.There should be skin growth and repair instead of reducing the redness and itching.As I take the cream off the leaking of the clear fluid begins again .I want to know what I can put on it to close the skin and make it tighter on my neck right under my chin so it won’t leak near my adms apple

Hi,

It is Miliaria crystallina... also called prickly heat. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It may be due to excessive temperature. Stay in an air-conditioned room. Take vitamin C tablets. If there is itching, take cetirizine. Bathe or shower in cool water with nondrying soap, then let your skin air-dry instead of toweling off. Use calamine lotion or cool compresses to calm itchy, irritated skin. Avoid using creams and ointments that contain petroleum or mineral oil, which can block pores further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
