What are the treatments for heat rash? These 4 folk remedies are the most effective

Heat rash is a common skin disease that occurs in people in the summer. Generally speaking, after heat rash appears on the body, you can use the following folk remedies to treat it.

salt

After taking a bath, add some salt to half a bucket of water, then use a gauze dipped in salt water to pat the area where the prickly heat grows, and finally wash it clean with warm water. Do this once a day and the prickly heat will heal soon.

Watermelon rind

Use the rind of watermelon to wipe the affected area. Wipe until it turns slightly red. Wipe two or three times a day. The effect will be seen the next day (no more itching), and the skin will be clean and smooth.

The famous pharmacology book "Compendium of Materia Medica" also records that watermelon can calm the mind, quench thirst and remove heat.

Sichuan peppercorn

Put 10 grams of peppercorns into an enamel pot, add 200 ml of boiling water, and cook on low heat for 5 to 6 minutes.

After boiling, when it is slightly cool and not hot, use cotton wool to dip in the pepper water and gently rub the affected area. After 12 hours, the pustules of the prickly heat will generally shrink and dry up. To consolidate the effect, warm the remaining pepper water over a low fire and then rub the affected area again. After this treatment, the prickly heat will disappear completely.
