What should I do if I have prickly heat on my face? What should I pay attention to?

In summer, it is not only children who get prickly heat, but also many teenagers and even adults. It is especially annoying when prickly heat-like particles grow on the face. Is this prickly heat or something else? Many people are unsure. So, what should we do if we get prickly heat on our face?

We know that once you have prickly heat-like particles, they will itch when exposed to heat, and they will easily break the skin when you scratch them. When you sweat, it will itch and hurt. Especially when prickly heat grows on the face, it is not only physically painful, but also easy to damage your personal image and make you embarrassed to see others. Therefore, try not to scratch them with your hands, just bear with it, otherwise it will itch more and more, and if you scratch the skin, it will cause bacterial infection.

When you have prickly heat on your face, you should pay attention to personal hygiene and wash your face frequently, usually three or four times a day. If you sweat a lot or your face is covered with dust, you don't have to follow the frequency of washing your face. It is best to wipe off the sweat and wash your face every time you sweat a lot, so as not to let the sweat stains remain on your face and clog your pores. When washing your face, do not use strong acidic or alkaline facial cleansers or soaps, do not use hot water, use warm water or cool water, and it is best to use well water.

It is best not to use powder products such as prickly heat powder and talcum powder before going out to work during the day. Otherwise, when you sweat a lot, it is easy for prickly heat powder to dissolve into the pores, which is harmful to the facial skin. Moreover, once you apply too much, the sweat will wash out "grooves" on your face, which is also very scary. Talcum powder and prickly heat powder should be used at night after taking a bath and cooling down.

The measures to treat prickly heat are only temporary solutions. If the root cause is not removed, it will recur soon after recovery. Therefore, you should pay attention to health care in daily life. Here are some suggestions that need to be paid attention to:

1. If the blood is hot, it is best to use food therapy, eat more blood-clearing and cooling foods, and drink more water. Watermelon is abundant in summer. Watermelon not only has the effect of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, cooling blood and quenching thirst, but also can prevent the occurrence of prickly heat. When eating watermelon, if you refrigerate it in the refrigerator for a while before eating, the effect will be better. Watermelon rind is a traditional Chinese medicine, called "watermelon green clothes". Wash the watermelon rind, slice it and boil soup, or make dishes, and eat it for a long time, which is also effective in preventing prickly heat.

2. If your face is oily, use some oil-removing care cleaning products on a regular basis. You can use a suitable facial cleanser to wash your face to prevent oil from clogging the skin pores.

3. Eat less spicy food, avoid smoking and drinking, and avoid fried food as much as possible.

4. The living environment should be well ventilated and cool to minimize sweating; avoid outdoor activities when the sun is scorching, and do not expose yourself to the sun for a long time or engage in extreme behavior.
