Anyone have a cure for prickly heat?

I was wondering if any doctors here or moms or grannies have any suggestions for "prickly heat."

Russians used it for system coolant in the Foxbat.

Many uses.

Baking soda is good for bee stings and insect bites, too. Draws the sting out for some reason - never questioned the mechanics of it, just know from childhood that it works.

Move to a cooler climate!

yep.... after one heat rash, I became a believer.... it cools and seems to get rid of it....

[Frantzie]

LOL! Yeah thanks. My friend was telling me about his vacation and people playing golf in the mtns in NC and it is 60 degress or so. Thanks God for air conditioning.

[Frantzie]

Thanks. Mixing up some paste now though I considered some of the alcohol and other ideas. ;-) I figured those just help you forget about the prickly heat.

Wow. I think we have a couple of cans of spray in the bathroom, too. She's gonna look at me like I had too much to drink tonight (and she'll be right LOL), but what the hey. I know it can make her cranky, and she'd stand on her head if she thought it would help in this July Alabama heat.

Might not hurt to pop a Benadryl, either. If nothing else, it'll help you sleep.

Breast-ease pads or simply using soft tissue underneath and in between the breasts may help your wife.

Good idea.

Anything I can take to sleep to forget the usurper. ;-)

Baking soda seems a cure for most any skin ailment. Cheap too! :)

When raising my kids and cooking alot, I kept a large aloe plant in the kitchen window...just break off a 1 inch piece and rub it on the burn...takes the pain away.

Baking soda - the wonder powder. Bake with it, brush your teeth with it, treat sunburn and bug bites with it, clean with it, deodorize with it, even add it to your swimming pool to soften the water. I always keep some here at the lodge.

Soak in the pool ‘til your skin shrivels up. Then lay nekid underneath the ceiling fan.

However, vodka- applied internally-- will make you forget the condition...

My son gets it all the time in the summer. I just have him take a shower then stay in the air conditioning without anything but undies for a day. Just cool, dry air seems to clear it up.

The “prickly” part is gone by the end of the day, so he’s not uncomfortable. The rash itself usually takes a week to clear up.
