Baby Skin Care » Heat Rash |
| When the pores of the skin are blocked, heat rash develops. Causes of blockage include poorly ventilated rooms or thick layers of clothing. Products for oily skin can also block the pores. |
| The rash often appears as small, red bumps in skin folds. It usually affects the cheeks, neck, shoulders, and diaper area. While a common occurrence, heat rash does not pose a major discomfort to babies, and most outbreaks pass quickly. |
| Do not overdress your baby; light clothing made of natural fibres is best for the tropical climate. |
| Ensure the room is properly ventilated and wherever possible, have a through breeze in the room. Wipe away any sweat with a damp cloth and give frequent cool baths to help open the skin pores. |
