What to do if your baby has prickly heat on his head

The weather is very hot now, and it is the season when prickly heat frequently occurs, so at this time, many children will get prickly heat. The part of the head that children are most likely to sweat is the head, because the head has the most pores and the most vigorous energy, plus it is covered with hair. When prickly heat appears on the baby's head, it is necessary to understand the cause and do timely cleaning and care, which can prevent the prickly heat from getting worse and speed up its disappearance.

How does prickly heat in children occur?

Summer is the season when prickly heat occurs because of the high temperature and high sweat secretion. If the sweat does not evaporate smoothly, the sweat pores will be blocked. If the sweat glands continue to secrete sweat, the pressure in the sweat ducts will increase, causing the sweat ducts to expand and rupture, and the sweat will overflow and penetrate into the surrounding tissues, causing many needle-sized blisters to appear under the skin, which are prickly heat. How does prickly heat in children occur? Children are naturally lively and active, even in the hot summer. If the child is always jumping around, he will sweat easily, and if he does not wipe it dry in time, his sweat pores will be blocked.

Children's metabolism is very fast in summer, and they sweat quickly, so they are particularly prone to prickly heat due to clogged sweat pores. Parents should pay attention to taking good care of them.
