Suggest Treatment For Prickly Heat Rashes And Its Scars
Hello Doctor! I am a female aged 27 yrs from India. I have sensitive skin since birth which breaks out into rashes in contact with dust, heat, sweat, pollen, insect bite, etc. I am prone to dust and pollen allergy as well. My current problem area is my neck and the base of neck. It started two weeks back when I went out in the strong summer sun. The area became reddish-maroon, itchy and subsequently started burning. I applied ice, aloe vera and other natural cooling agents thinking its a sunburn. It healed after a few days with dead skin peeling off. However, the same problem has resurfaced two days back though this time I have taken all precaution to cover every inch of my skin before stepping out in the sun. Constant sweating due to humid Indian conditions is making my condition worse and the burns more sore. Please help!! The marks look ugly and hurt and burn every time it comes in contact with even clothes!!

hi there.
1. your concern may be milliria rubra.
2. stop using harsh later soaps instead prefer mild cleansers for body wash.
3. you can try lite liquid paraffin lotion, apply it twice daily on affected areas after body wash, apply it on damp skin.
4. dust any clotrimazole dusting powder after applying liquid paraffin.
5. prefer cool places and avoid sweat provocating activities.
6. have diet rich in vit C.
this will help you.
