How to treat prickly heat

It is the hot summer now. The high temperature and humidity make it difficult for sweat to evaporate, causing many friends to develop heat rash. The rash is very itchy and does not go away for a long time. It is really frustrating. Many friends have no good way to deal with it and can only endure the torture of heat rash. Now I will introduce to you some quick and practical methods to prevent and treat prickly heat.

Heat rash on the body is caused by clogged pores, which affects normal sweating. Therefore, it is recommended that you try to wear loose clothes, which will facilitate the evaporation of sweat, and be careful to change clothes that are soaked with sweat in time. Always keep your skin clean and dry. You can carry a dry towel with you to wipe off the sweat on your body at any time and take a bath with warm water frequently.

After taking a shower, dry your body and apply some prickly heat powder or talcum powder to areas where you sweat easily. If you have already developed heat rash, you should apply heat rash powder, which has a cooling and antipruritic effect. After getting prickly heat, you must not scratch it with your hands because of the itching, otherwise it may cause infection. Take oral antihistamines if itching is severe. Antibiotics can be used for purulent infection.

Keep the house ventilated, preferably with natural wind. After strenuous exercise, try not to get too close to the air conditioner, as this will cause your pores to shrink rapidly and affect the normal discharge of sweat. After getting prickly heat, you can apply anti-prickly heat powder on the body surface and take some Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxification, such as honeysuckle tea. In addition, you can also use some dietary therapy methods to remove heat rash.

Yes, drinking more mung bean soup can effectively relieve the itchy symptoms of prickly heat and replenish the body with water and vitamins. You can also cook soup with winter melon and kelp. In order to adjust the taste, you can add some white sugar. Take it every day and persist for more than ten days to get rid of prickly heat on your body. In addition, you can also boil leek roots in water and drink it. Be sure to wash the leek roots carefully.
