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

Besides the obvious cures like talcum powder, cornstarch and Gold Bond’s Body Powder, I’m wondering if you take any medications that might cause the problem. I take multiple meds for sugar, hypertension, thyroid, etc., and noticed that when I get in the sun, the exposed parts of my legs, feet, arms and hands look like I have the measles. It doesn’t itch, but it looks funny. It’s as if all the red pigments come to the surface of the skin. Needless to say, I don’t stay in the sun very long.

Try a paste made of corn starch. Works for me.

Thanks - no meds at this time (or yet) - thank goodness. Yep looks like the measles.

Walking about 3 hours in 92 or more degree heat with 65% humidity, lots of subscreen and a bush hat. Golfers or make that aspiring golfers can be nutty. I usually start at 5:30 pm and play til 8:10 pm so the last hour or more is not too bad.

The sunscreen on the legs is not real heavy put i am sure it is blocking pores releasing sweat which is largely Salt (sodium). I need to drink more water too. I drink it but need to drink more.
