What to do if your baby has prickly heat on his face_What to do if your child has prickly heat on his face

When a child gets prickly heat on his face, it is very harmful because when the prickly heat on the face is very itchy, it can be scratched lightly, and the longer the scratching, the more likely it is that the prickly heat on the face will become infected, and may even cause pustules. In severe cases, there is a risk of disfigurement. When a child gets prickly heat on his face, parents should pay attention to control the child from scratching as much as possible, and give regular medication to relieve itching to prevent the child from constantly touching the face.

Medication treatment: external use of prickly heat powder or calamine lotion. If there is secondary infection, add antibiotic ointment for external use or oral antibiotics.
