Baby just full moon soon, the home is too hot, what should I do if I have a heat rash?

Heat rash, also known as sweat rash or miliaria, is a common skin disease of infants in summer. Due to the blockage of pores, sweat discharge is difficult to cause irritating inflammation.

There are two main reasons why babies are prone to heat rash: First, the ambient temperature is too high. Second, the baby's thermoregulation function is immature. Children's central nervous system regulation function is relatively poor, the body surface area is relatively large, and the skin sweat glands are underdeveloped, so the body temperature regulation function is unstable, and heat generation and heat dissipation are easy to be unbalanced, so the body temperature is easy to fluctuate. The younger you are, the worse this adjustment ability is. Especially for newborns, skin fat is thin, muscles are underdeveloped, exercise ability is weak, and body temperature regulation function is more unstable.

What are the clinical manifestations of baby's heat rash

When the ambient temperature is too high, or when the baby suckles, exerts force or cries, a reddish rash will appear on the baby's skin, which will soon disappear after the baby's skin cools. Heat rash mostly occurs in the baby's face, neck, shoulders, elbow socket, groin, armpit and other sweating parts. Heat rash is actually a mild inflammation of sweat glands. At first, the skin turns red, and then there are red papules or papules the size of needles, which are densely packed and partly purulent. After a heat rash, it will be itchy and painful, and sometimes there will be bouts of burning pain.
