What should I do if my baby gets heat rash?

When a baby develops heat rash, parents should ensure the baby stays in a cool, well-ventilated environment and avoid overdressing or covering the baby excessively to minimize sweating. It is important to keep the baby's skin clean and dry. Bathe the baby regularly, but ensure the water temperature is not too high to avoid skin irritation. After bathing, gently dry the baby's body, especially skin folds such as the neck, armpits, and groin areas, to prevent worsening of the rash. Additionally, parents may choose appropriate topical treatments suitable for the baby, such as baby powder or calamine lotion, and apply them in accordance with the product instructions or as advised by a physician to relieve itching and discomfort. At the same time, parents should ensure the baby's diet is balanced and encourage increased water intake to promote elimination of metabolic waste from the body. If the symptoms of heat rash are severe or do not improve promptly, medical attention should be sought.
