Accepted Answer

Heat : Heat rash (miliaria rubra) occurs when your sweat glands become blocked and sweat is trapped under the skin.  This can cause a red rash that can either look like little blisters or larger red lumps.  It can be itchy or "prickly" which is why many people refer to it as prickly heat.  Even though it can be annoying, the good news is that it usually resolves on its own.  You can help by preventing sweating such as staying in a cool environment, wear lightweight clothing of breathable material (like cotton), and limiting physical activity in the heat.  Calamine lotion can help with the itch.  Good luck!

Question 3

my little cousin has heat bumps all over her forehead. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Usually nothing: If these are truly "heat bumps" then they should go away once your cousin cools off.  Not knowing your cousin's age it is hard to rule out acne, which can look like heat bumps in some patients and is treated very differently.  I would consider seeing a dermatologist to help you determine the actual diagnosis and what treatment might be necessary.

Question 4

how do i get rid of heat bumps on my forehead

Accepted Answer

Rubbing alcohol: Most heat bumps will disappear when you go into a cool environment.  So if you have true heat bumps find a room with a good air conditioning system.  In addition, rubbing alcohol two times each day helps.

Question 5

Hard to tell: There is no way of telling without examining the area, since there are many possible causes for the problem. I would suggest that you have it looked at by your doctor or dentist to determine what it might be.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: At this age, the baby's skin is very delicate. Avoid contact with shampoo and soap. Wash linens and towels in a fragrance free baby detergent. Avoid direct exposure to the elements. Pigmentation may take weeks to normalize. In the meantime, watch for signs of infection such as fever or poor feeding.  Discuss the use of a gentle eczema cream for the face during a virtual visit with Healthtap or PCP
