While summer is a time to enjoy the bright, sunny outdoors, it is also a time when many people suffer from prickly heat, also known as heat or sweat rash. The medical term for this condition is miliaria. It is quite a common skin problem that affects people of all ages including infants. What causes heat rash is the blockage of sweat evaporation due to clogged pores, which is worsened by skin friction, leading to formation of small red bumps that are often itchy and prickly. These painful blisters are most often found in parts of the body that rub together like the armpits, inner thighs, elbows, etc.
