How to treat prickly heat on the head? Three methods are most effective

Heat rash can occur anywhere on the body, including the head. Generally speaking, if people want to effectively treat heat rash on their heads, they can choose the following three methods.

1. New treatment for prickly heat

(1) Put 10 grams of peppercorns into an enamel pot, add 200 ml of boiling water, and cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes. When it is slightly cool and not hot, use cotton wool to gently rub the affected area with the peppercorn water. After 12 hours, the pustules of the prickly heat will generally shrink and dry up. To consolidate the effect, warm the remaining peppercorn water over low heat and then rub the affected area again. After this treatment, the prickly heat will disappear completely.

(2) Use cut cucumber or chopped loofah leaves to rub the prickly heat 2-3 times a day. The effect will be seen after a few days.

(3) For more severe prickly heat, grind licorice root into powder (1 part) and talcum powder (2 parts) and rub the mixture on the prickly heat.

(4) You can also take 100 grams of stinking sycamore and 200 grams of horsetail herb and boil them in water for external washing.

2. Ten drops of water to treat prickly heat

Ten drops of water is very effective in treating itching. Usage is as follows: First, use the sweat and secreted oil of the affected skin to clean it, then squeeze out a few drops of ten drops of water and apply it to the affected area, and let it dry naturally. The skin where the medicine is applied will feel a slight burning and pain, and the symptoms will disappear after a few minutes. Apply it two or three times a day. It will reduce inflammation, swelling and itching in two or three days. For more serious cases, the medication can be extended.

The skin of infants and young children is delicate, so it is not suitable to apply directly. You can dilute Ten Drops of Water with warm water in a ratio of 1:10 before use. The number of times you apply it every day can be increased or decreased depending on the number of prickly heat. To prevent infection from scratching with fingernails, it is better to apply it with a cotton swab. In addition, you can also use bathing to prevent and treat it. The method is to add an appropriate amount of Ten Drops of Water (such as half a small bottle) to warm water every time you bathe your child, but be careful to use only clean water for bathing, and do not use soap, bath gel, etc., to maintain the efficacy of the medicine.

3. Frosted mulberry leaves can treat prickly heat

Grind 200g of dried mulberry leaves, 200g of mung beans and 50g of calamine into powder to make prickly heat powder. After taking a bath every night with mulberry leaves boiled in water, apply a layer of homemade prickly heat powder. Do this once a day, and it will heal after four to five times. Frosted mulberry leaves must be picked after the frost falls or hit the ground by frost, dry them, and hang them in a cloth bag in a ventilated place for later use. Fresh mulberry leaves can also be used, but the effect is slightly worse.
