Prickly heat is a common skin problem in babies, children, and adults during hot and humid weather. It occurs when the body sweats excessively, the skin's pores become blocked, and the excess sweat cannot escape through the pores.
Our little ones' sensitive skin cannot easily adapt to changes in climate or location. Rashes appear as tiny red spots and blisters in the folds of their body, on their hands, feet, legs, armpits, stomach, chest, and groin.
What you can do when your baby has prickly heat:
1. Try to keep your baby's skin as cool as possible!
This will prevent sweating and irritation of the rash. To keep their skin cool, dress your little one in loose, cotton clothes, use cotton bedding, protect them from direct sunlight, ensure their bath water is not hot, and encourage them to drink plenty of water.
2. If there is an itching sensation, do not use perfumed shampoos and creams!
Little Pure Project Hair and Body Shampoo, with its perfume-free, sulfate-free, paraben-free formula, accompanies your little one's warm bath, helping them to feel refreshed. It gently cleanses, softens, and nourishes your baby's hair and body.
4. To soothe irritated skin, relieve itchy skin, and eliminate rashes,
use Little Pure Project Diaper Rash Cream! The peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, lavender oil, chamomile oil, aloe vera extract, and olive oil in our diaper rash cream help to calm the prickly heat and stop the itching in a short time. After showering, you can apply a thin layer to the affected area.
If the rashes increase despite applying our suggestions above, if there are symptoms such as crusting, sensitivity, pus, swelling in the area, and if your little one's appetite has decreased, consult your doctor.
We wish you and your loved ones healthy days in this hot weather!
