HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR HEAT RASH
Heat rash develops when blocked pores (sweat ducts) trap
perspiration under your skin. Symptoms range from superficial blisters to deep,
red lumps. Some forms of heat rash feel prickly or intensely itchy.
Heat rash usually clears on its own. Severe forms of heat rash
may need medical care, but the best way to relieve symptoms is to cool your
skin and prevent sweating.
Causes--Heat rash develops when some of
your sweat ducts clog. Instead of evaporating, perspiration gets trapped
beneath the skin, causing inflammation and rash.
It's
not always clear why the sweat ducts become blocked, but certain factors seem
to play a role, including:
Immature sweat ducts. A newborn's sweat ducts aren't fully developed. They can rupture
more easily, trapping perspiration beneath the skin. Heat rash can develop in
the first week of life, especially if the infant is being warmed in an
incubator, is dressed too warmly or has a fever.
Tropical climates. Hot, humid weather can cause heat rash.
Physical activity. Intense exercise, hard work or any activity that causes you to
sweat heavily can lead to heat rash.
Overheating. Overheating in general — dressing too warmly or sleeping under an
electric blanket — can lead to heat rash.
Prolonged bed rest. Heat rash can also occur in people who are confined to bed for
long periods, especially if they have a fever.
Symptoms--Adults
usually develop heat rash in skin folds and where clothing causes friction. In
infants, the rash is mainly found on the neck, shoulders and chest. It can also
show up in the armpits, elbow creases and groin.
