Hello friends am very sure you all doing quite well and fine and enjoying the stemit Plartform as well. Here I am @emishael60 on another contest organised by @khursheedanwar in the healthy steem title Heat rash.

As the name reads Heat rash, it is a common skin condition that is cause from heat.
It happens when sweat gets stucked in the skin due to blocked sweat pores.An there are different Types of Heat Rash either it comes as a boil or skin redness and itching.
All these happens When sweat can’t escape through pores on the skin. These are the common things that can affect the sweat pores:

Dead Skin Cells: Small pieces of dead skin can close pores.
Sweat and Clothing: Sweat stucks inbetween skin and clothing.
Hair Follicles: Hair follicles may block sweat glands.
Hormonal Changes: Shifts in hormones can play a role.
Lack of Airflow: Not enough air circulation.

Heat rash looks like very tiny boils surrounded by red, irritated skin and the common areas affected are:

Firsts of all I'll make the person cool of his skin by :
Taking Cool Baths: Taking a cool bath can make the skin cold and reduce heat rash.
Air-Drying: After washing, he should let the skin air-dry gently without using towel.

Then In medication or treatments:🌡️💊

This lotion called Calamine Lotion can help because I used it twice when I suffererd from the heat rashes, this lotion contains zinc oxide which can helps the itchiness reduced. I will use some calamine lotion on the rash using a cotton pad and reapply as much as I can to reduce the itching. Or I used a mixture of lemon fruit and it leaves .The person will be okay.

Note♦️

Scratching can worsen the rash and lead to infection.
Heat rash usually improves when the skin cools down. So Stay in cool places and use air conditioning.And Avoid Oily or Greasy Products because these can block pores further.
Wear light cotton clothes in hot weather.
And drinking plenty of water keeps the skin cool and hydrated.

Heat rash is not a serious sickness and can go away on its own. But if the rashes seems sturbon or no improvement, I Will ask the person to see a doctor, especially if not sure whether it’s heat rash or another skin condition. 😊🌡️

No it can't makes me bed ridden because I can remember the last time I suffererd from it I spend most of my time on the Floor.
Most heat rashes improve when the skin cools down and start producing heat
Bed rest patients can be at increased risk because the heat From the bed too can increase fever making it more itching and redfish.

But there are ways to help and reduce Heat Rash for Bed Rest Patients:
Cool Room Temperature: Keep the room cool to help the body normalize its temperature.

• Wearing light Clothing allows the skin to breathe.
• Stay Dry: excessive oil on the skin can worsen heat rash, so ensure good body cream and temperature.
• Hydrate: Drinking cold water helps cool down the body internally.
  And we can take common medicine like paracetamol, and have a very good bath. These can reduce fever and inflammation.

♦️In conclusion heats rash is one of the frustrating heats causing sickness which we don't like because we can scratch the hell out of our skin and can take simple drugs like paracetamol or we use calamine lotion on our skin. We shouldn't forget staying hydrated, staying in cool areas and having cold baths. All these can help us when we fall a victim.
