The best way to deal with prickly heat is by preventing it. This can be done by taking certain preventive measures like avoiding intake of excessive alcohol, smoking and spicy and fried food. You need to keep your body cool and avoid excessive exposure to hot and humid conditions.
If you are suffering from prickly heat rashes, then you must apply some cold water or ice cubes on the affected parts to cool the body down and prevent or reduce inflammation.
Having an oatmeal bath also helps. All you need to do is to add oatmeal powder in your bath tub and take a bath to get relief from prickly heat. A neem bath can also help. After having baths, you should apply talcum powder to prevent sweat formation in your body. There are also many prickly heat powders available in the markets.
Drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated. You can also drink fruit juices and coconut water. The main aim is to keep your body cool and comfortable. Another effective home remedy for the treatment of prickly heat is by applying a paste of sandalwood and rose water to the affected parts.
