I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Prickly heat is a skin rash caused by sweat trapped in the skin. It tends to be more common in hot, humid climates. Symptoms include redness, itching, and small blisters. The condition is caused by narrowed or clogged sweat ducts. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
