Heat rash, also known as miliaria or prickly heat, is a common skin condition caused by blockage of sweat ducts, leading to trapped sweat and superficial inflammation. It usually occurs in hot, humid environments and affects areas like the neck, chest, back, armpits, groin, and skin folds. Clinically, it presents as tiny, red papules, vesicles, or pustules, often accompanied by itching, prickling, or burning sensations. Risk factors include excessive sweating, tight or non-breathable clothing, fever, and prolonged exposure to heat. While usually self-limiting, it can cause discomfort, secondary infection, or exacerbation in sensitive individuals.

Homoeopathy treats heat rash by addressing both local symptoms and the patient’s constitutional susceptibility. Remedies are selected according to lesion type (papules, vesicles, pustules), location, intensity of itching or burning, aggravating and relieving factors, and associated systemic symptoms like fever or irritability. The aim is to relieve inflammation, reduce itching or burning, prevent secondary infection, and restore skin health naturally. Constitutional treatment strengthens overall tolerance to heat and sweat-related disorders.

Heat rash is a common, self-limiting skin condition caused by sweat duct obstruction and heat exposure. Homoeopathic treatment provides symptom relief, reduces itching, burning, and inflammation, and prevents secondary infection. Remedies are chosen based on lesion type, intensity, location, and patient constitution. Combined with constitutional care, homoeopathy supports skin health, improves tolerance to heat, and minimizes recurrence of prickly heat in susceptible individuals.
