CHILDREN'S SUMMER SKIN RASHES

As the weather gets hotter, it’s important to know how to recognise, treat or even avoid the most common summer skin rashes in children so they can enjoy the sun in comfort!

HEAT RASHES

Now that summer is here, it’s vital to take the right precautions to help your kids avoid unpleasant heat rashes. A combination of hot weather and high humidity are the ideal conditions for heat rashes to flourish.

Heat rashes are easily recognisable from the small, inflamed reddish-pink bumps that become visible on the surface of the skin in the affected area, sometimes accompanied by an itching, prickling sensation. To prevent the onset of heat rashes for your little one, be sure to keep them away from overly hot or humid environments, where possible.

Perhaps help them to dry off areas such as their neck, armpits, elbow creases and leg creases, all of which are heat rash hot spots. So stay cool, stay dry, and heat rashes shouldn’t be a problem!
