Are you also troubled by heat rash?
May 12,Kathmandu.You must have often seen that due to the intense sunshine and humidity in the summer season, people get heat rashes on their bodies. This is a common skin problem, which troubles many people. Many times, due to heat rash, one even loses sleep at night because it also causes severe itching in the skin. This problem can happen to anyone from small children to the elderly.
According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, heat rash is a common skin condition caused by extreme heat or humidity. However, with some basic care and hygiene, it can be relieved to a great extent.
Why does heat rash occur?
This is a common skin problem, which mostly occurs in the summer season. In this, small red pimples appear on the skin and burning or itching may also be felt in it. These pimples usually appear on the neck, back and below the waist. Its main reason is considered to be blockage in the sweat glands.
Actually, due to the moisture of sweat, bacteria called Staphylococcus grow in the skin, which blocks the pores. Due to this, sweat cannot come out and pimples appear on the skin. In medical terms, it is called 'miliaria'. It is also called sweat rash, heat rash or prickly heat. There can be many reasons for heat rash. Such as-
- Due to excessive sweating.
- By wearing tight or synthetic clothes.
- By working harder.
- By working in strong sunlight.
- By using too much hard cosmetics.
- By taking medicines.
What are the symptoms of heat rash?
The symptoms of heat rash are quite mild. Usually, small red pimples or boils appear on the skin. These often appear in clusters. You may feel itching, burning or stinging in these pimples, which is quite bothersome. In some cases, the pimples may also contain watery fluid.
On which parts of the body does heat rash occur more?
Dermatologist says that usually heat rash occurs more on those parts of the body where there is more sweating and air does not reach easily. Such as-
- On the neck
- on the upper back
- on the upper chest
- Below the Waist
- on the elbow
- behind the knees
- on the inner side of the thighs
What precautions should be taken to avoid heat rash?
For this, one should wear light and loose cotton clothes in hot and humid weather. This allows air to pass through and sweat dries easily. It is also important to keep the body cool, so use a fan, cooler or air conditioner at home.
Apart from this, take bath regularly and keep the skin clean so that the sweat glands do not get blocked. Avoid going out in the sun and heavy physical activity. If it is necessary to go out in the sun, use sunscreen. Also keep some other things in mind.
Are there any home remedies to get relief from heat rash?
For this, boiling neem leaves in water and taking bath in it can provide relief because neem has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Apart from this, cold water fomentation can also provide relief from heat rash. However, it is important to keep in mind that these home remedies can only provide initial relief. If the heat rash does not get cured or pus develops in it, then it is best to consult a doctor.
Do heat rash marks remain on the skin? If yes, then how can they be reduced?
Usually the marks of heat rash do not remain on the skin. But if the heat rash gets infected, light marks can appear. To reduce these marks, you can use skin lightening cream on the advice of a doctor. Also, protect yourself from sunlight as it can make the marks even darker.
