Heat boils, also known as heat rashes, can occur when sweat gets trapped in sweat ducts, often due to overheating or too many layers of clothing or blankets.
Steps to Take:
1. Remove Excess Clothing or Blankets: Make sure the baby isn't too bundled up. Keep them in light, breathable clothing to avoid overheating.
2. Cool the Skin: You can gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth to cool it down. Avoid using harsh soaps or lotions.
3. Ensure Proper Ventilation: Make sure the baby’s room is well-ventilated and not too warm.
4. Use Calamine Lotion: If the rashes are mild, you can apply calamine lotion (for babies) to soothe the skin, but do this after confirming it is safe from your pediatrician.
5. Hydration: Keep your baby hydrated to help regulate body temperature.
Should You See a Doctor?
If the heat boils or rashes persist, seem to cause discomfort, or if they appear to worsen, it's a good idea to consult your pediatrician. They can ensure it's not a more serious issue and provide appropriate treatment if necessary.
It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your baby’s health.
