The simplest way is to mash the bitter melon to extract the juice, rub it on the affected area, and the prickly heat will disappear the next day.

If the prickly heat is serious, boil peach leaves into juice and mix it into the bath water, or directly use it to wipe the affected area for better results. When boiling peach leaf juice, the ratio is: 100 grams of peach leaves and 1000 milliliters of water. Boil it until only half of the water is left.
