Heat Rash in Babies: Causes and Care
Description
When the heat hits hard, baby’s skin can pay the price—heat rash, or miliaria rubra, shows up as itchy, raised bumps, often red on lighter skin or grey/white on darker skin, popping up where sweat traps: neck, armpits, groin. A milder form, miliaria crystalline, looks like tiny water droplets and rarely bothers newborns. Thankfully, it’s usually harmless and fades on its own—but keeping your little one cool with loose cotton clothes and cool compresses helps soothe the itch. Always consult a pro before using any creams. And if your baby’s rash comes with stiff neck, trouble breathing, or bleeding under the skin—call emergency services immediately.
