Adults with miliaria (heat rash) may alleviate symptoms under a physician’s guidance by applying boric acid, zinc oxide, and borneol ointment topically to the affected skin. Oral antihistamines—such as cetirizine—may also be used for treatment. During therapy, it is essential to keep the skin dry and clean: change clothes frequently, bathe regularly, and wear breathable, 100% cotton clothing.
