AKA prickly heat: Temperature Regulation is usually the only intervention needed. Common in newborn in warm climate . Irritation occurs when sweat that is obstructed leaks into the skin. Newborn skin is very delicate and maybe further irritated by unneeded treatment , full development of skin pores will occur in time naturally. Irritation and resolution will often occur within 24 hrs of cooling the skin. Take care.
