Baby Heat Rash: Types, Duration, Treatment & More

Symptoms of a heat rash

Heat rash signs and symptoms include:

Small lumps that are occasionally itchy or stinging and may be clear, red, or skin-colored

The areas of a child’s body that are most frequently impacted include:

  • elbow and knee creases
  • armpits
  • inner thighs
  • neck folds

Types of heat rash

Heat rash comes in a variety of forms.

Crystallina Miliaria

The mildest type of heat rash is miliaria crystallina. The epidermis [1], the outermost layer of skin, is impacted.

Your baby’s skin may have a few small, transparent blemishes that resemble blisters. The lumps don’t hurt. Lesions rarely itch, but if scratched, they may become infected.

Consider putting gloves on your baby’s hands if they have a rash to stop them from scratching and creating open wounds.
