Cooling Treatments for Baby Heat Rash
In most cases, baby heat rashes clear up on their own without treatment. However, because they can cause discomfort to the baby, providing some relief is essential while waiting for the baby's symptoms to disappear.
The first step to providing immediate relief to a baby with a heat rash is cooling the affected skin area. Cooling can be achieved by applying a cool, clean washcloth to the rash, or the child can be given a cool bath.3‘When Your Child Has Heat Rash (Prickly Heat).’ UC San Diego Health, myhealth.ucsd.edu/Library/News/Newsletters/Men/3,89381
