POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. It sounds like your child is dealing with heat rash, which is common in hot weather and can be exacerbated by sweating. Here are some tips that might help:
1. **Keep Cool**: Ensure your child stays in a cool environment as much as possible. Use fans or air conditioning to reduce the heat.
2. **Dress Lightly**: Continue using lightweight, breathable cotton clothing. Avoid tight-fitting clothes that can trap heat.
3. **Cool Baths**: Give your child cool baths or showers to help soothe the skin and reduce sweat. Avoid using harsh soaps.
4. **Hydrate**: Make sure your child drinks plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and help regulate body temperature.
5. **Avoid Irritants**: Check that the powder you’re using is non-irritating and avoid using too much. Sometimes, even powders can irritate sensitive skin.
6. **Skin Care**: After bathing, gently pat the skin dry instead of rubbing. You might also use a mild, hypoallergenic moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated.
If these measures don’t help or the rash persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further advice.
