Prickly heat is an itchy rash caused by trapped sweat. Prickly heat develops when the narrow ducts carrying sweat to the skin surface get clogged. The trapped sweat causes inflammation, which causes irritation, itching, and a rash of small bumps or very tiny blisters. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment plan.
