Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Red spots may appear on the back, especially in summer, as children often sweat on their backs while sleeping, which is related to accumulated sweat, the humid external environment, and internal body heat. Keep the air environment cool and ensure timely ventilation. Additionally, children should avoid high-energy, high-calorie foods. Overweight children should pay attention to weight management. Moreover, prickly heat can be treated with solutions such as 10-drop water or amaranth boiled water applied to the affected area. Simple remedies also include using calamine lotion. After bathing with water daily, pay attention to patting the prickly heat areas gently.
