Talk to Pediatrician on Prickly Heat
Asking for Other, Male, 2 years old, Karachi
My son is 21 months old. He is having prickly heat/heat rash issue since this hot weather started. We give him bath 3 times a day. 1 time with soap and 2 times with just water. The rash is pretty annoying for him the night when he goes to bed. Sometimes he wake up because of the itching. Other than this he is Alhmdulillah totally fine and active. He is getting proper sleep too.

Dear Parent,
Prickly heat/heat rash/miliaria is a harmless skin condition but it is very itchy.
Symptoms resolved in 2-3days on its own.
Here are some things that may help:
When possible try to avoid sweating make sure there is good ventilation.
Appropriate clothing like loose cotton clothing and avoid too many garments.
A cool bath may provide short-term relief, it is good that you are giving him 3 showers and using soaps once because too much soap use may make it worse.
If he is having problem at night due to itching then you can apply a layer of Calamine lotion after night shower to help reduce itching and discomfort.
