Prickly Heat

Prickly heat is an itchy rash of minute, reddish pimples. The condition is also known as heat rash. Those are especially susceptible with it are overweight people and infants. Prickly heat is most common in hot, moist weather. Contributing factor is perspiration and chaffing.

Normally, it disappears after the body cools odd. Baths are soothing but should be without soap, and a light powder should be  applied after taking a bath. Keeping as cool and dry as possible would help.
