Heat rash is a problem that children are more prone to in the hot summer. Once heat rash occurs, children will feel pain and itching in the area where it grows, which is unbearable to disturb. Two year old children also have very delicate bodies, and if not taken care of, they are more likely to develop prickly heat. So what should a 2-year-old child do if they have prickly heat?
1. What is prickly heat
The formation of prickly heat is due to the high temperature and humidity in summer, where the body sweats too much and is not easily evaporated. Sweat infiltrates the epidermis and stratum corneum, causing blockage of sweat gland ducts. After sweat is stored in the sweat gland ducts, it ruptures due to increased internal pressure, causing sweat to infiltrate surrounding tissues and stimulate them. Herpes and papules occur at the sweat pores, leading to prickly heat. Generally speaking, prickly heat is most likely to grow on children, but some adults with delicate skin, obesity, excessive sweating, or weak constitution may also develop prickly heat.
2. New treatment method for prickly heat
(1) Put 10 grams of Sichuan peppercorns into an enamel jar, pour in 200 milliliters of boiling water, and cook on low heat for 5-6 minutes After cooking, wait for it to cool slightly and not become hot to the hands. Dip a cotton swab in Sichuan pepper water and gently wipe the affected area. After 12 hours, the pus tip of the prickly heat can generally shrink and become dry To consolidate the therapeutic effect, you can warm the remaining Sichuan pepper water over low heat and then scrub the affected area again. After this treatment, the prickly heat will disappear completely
(2) Cut the cucumber into sections or rub the prickly heat with mashed luffa leaves 2-3 times a day, and the therapeutic effect can be seen after a few days
(3) For heavier prickly heat, take 1 part of ground licorice powder, 2 parts of talcum powder, and rub prickly heat
(4) It can also be washed with 100g of stinky wutong trees and 200g of purslane
(5) In addition, ginger juice can treat children's prickly heat. Apply it to the area with long prickly heat, and it usually subsides after a few hours. Use raw cucumber juice or cucumber slices to apply to the affected area, and it can be cured two or three times. This method is particularly suitable for children.
Growing prickly heat in children is a common problem, but not everyone knows how to treat prickly heat. Some mothers who have babies at home need to know some treatment methods for prickly heat to be prepared.
