Home Remedy for Prickly Heat

Sweat rash or prickly heat also known as Miliaria alba is a skin disease characterized by small itchy rashes. This condition is common among tropical areas, and often occurs in summer due to blocked sweat glands and underdeveloped sweat glans for infants. Although common, it is not a serious condition and can be easily treated.

Rashes can appear anywhere in the body of an affected person but commonly can be seen at the following body parts:

* feet
* back
* neck
