Heat Rash

Heat Rash is the name assigned to a group of skin problems that erupts due to heat exposure or excessive heat. It is also commonly referred to as ‘miliaria’ or prickly heat, which appear in tiny, pink to clear bumps over the neck or face. It is primarily caused when tiny sweat particles get trapped into the skin leading to swelling and itching in and around the sweat pores. Common heat rashes include sweat retention and heat urticaria (or hives). Heat rashes are mostly developed during summer season and in humid weather, which might resolve in few hours to a few days without any treatment. In case of severe condition though, it should be immediately treated with professional medical care.
