Prickly heat, or miliaria, is a skin condition that occurs when sweat ducts become blocked. Trapped sweat can cause small bumps, redness, itching, or a prickling sensation. Prickly heat appears more often in hot, humid weather. It can be triggered by excessive sweating, activity in a hot environment, tight clothing, or conditions that prevent air from circulating around the skin. The neck, chest, back, and skin folds are among the areas that can be affected.
What should you do?
Move to a cooler environment, wear loose clothing that absorbs sweat, and keep your skin dry and comfortable. Bathe with cool or lukewarm water and use a gentle cleanser to clean your skin without scrubbing too hard. Use an antiseptic soap for prickly heat.
Minosep can help reduce prickly heat because it contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate, which can help eliminate the bacteria that cause prickly heat and help relieve it.
