How do I treat prickly heat on a 1yr old's body? :(

Hi, hope your baby is fine now. Although the prickly heat condition isn't painful, but it can be annoyingly itchy. The intense prickling or stinging sensation may be distressing for your baby :( Most heat rashes will clear up within a few days. In the meantime, here's what you can do to relieve your baby's itching and discomfort: 1. Try to reduce heat and humidity. Move into an airy room or a shady spot. Try using a mini fan if you are out and about in a hot country or in the summer heat. If the weather stays hot at night, place a fan in your baby's room to circulate the air. 2. Take off his clothes or dress him in cotton. Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester and nylon, trap heat. Opt for natural fibres instead. Where possible, loosen or remove his clothing and give him as much nappy-free time as you can. 3. Keep his skin cool. Cool the affected areas directly using cold, wet flannels, or give your baby a tepid bath or shower. Let the air dry his skin as much as possible rather than using towels. This can help to heal the rash. 4. Use calamine lotion. Smooth on plenty of the lotion (but not near his eyes). This is particularly helpful if your baby seems irritable and cries when you touch his skin. 5. Use hydrocortisone cream. Use this cream on the advice of your doctor or pharmacist if the rash is severe. Hope it helps!
