Methods to treat prickly heat (miliaria) in adults include applying calamine lotion or prickly heat powder. Bathing with water infused with lotus leaves is also effective, as it helps clear heat and detoxify the body. Alternatively, purslane can be boiled in water, cooled, and then used with a cold towel for compresses. Avoid hot, humid environments whenever possible. Bathe frequently and change clothes regularly. Wear breathable, moisture-wicking clothing—preferably cotton.
