Prickly heat (miliaria) can be treated with medications that reduce swelling and relieve itching, such as calamine lotion. Additionally, talcum powder or prickly heat powder may be applied to affected skin areas. Regular bathing and frequent changes of clothing are recommended. After bathing, apply the prescribed medication and prickly heat powder to the affected areas. Ensure adequate indoor ventilation and wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing to keep the skin dry—this helps alleviate symptoms.
