How does a five-year-old child grow many prickly heat on his face in summer?

You can try the following methods to see if they are helpful to your baby.

1. Keep your skin clean and dry.

Remember to wipe your baby's sweat after taking a bath or exercising, because it is easiest to get prickly heat where there is sweat.

2. Air conditioner used to cool down

The weather is sultry, so you can turn on the air conditioner at around 26℃ at home and the humidity should not exceed 60%. The sleeping place must be ventilated.

3. Take a bath and change clothes frequently.

If you have prickly heat on your body, you should always bathe your baby and change clothes frequently. It is best to take a bath with warm water instead of soap or bath lotion, which can reduce the stimulation to the baby's body. Clothes should be light, soft and wide, which can reduce the friction on the skin.

4. Summer drinks

Drink more water for your baby, and you can also make some cool foods, such as watermelon juice, mung bean soup and winter melon soup. And let the baby eat more fruits and vegetables, which can not only relieve summer heat, but also supplement water and vitamins to increase the sense of coolness.

5. External drugs

In addition to local prickly heat powder, you can also use a refreshing and antipruritic lotion, such as 1% mint calamine lotion and prickly heat water to wipe the affected area. For more serious abscesses, it is best to go to a regular hospital and listen to the advice of a specialist. It is not advisable to use hormones, especially ointments.

Many mothers try their best to remove prickly heat from their babies, but the effect of removing prickly heat is not ideal. When the baby has prickly heat, parents should not shave their heads to cool the baby; Remember not to bathe in cold water. Taking a bath will cause the skin capillaries to contract suddenly, the pores of sweat glands will be blocked, and sweat excretion will be poor, which will aggravate the rash; Don't use too much prickly heat powder, otherwise it will block the outlet of sweat glands and make the baby's prickly heat worse.
