Suggest Medications For Prickly Heat Rash
I suffer very badly from prickly heat rash when on a sunshine holiday. Is there any preventative medicines can take for perhaps 2/3 weeks before departure and what creams are most effective for rash. I have previously taken antihistamine tablets before, during and after holiday all to no avail. HELP PLEASE.

Hi,
Prickly heat is also called miliaria. Severe hot climate might precipate the condition called prickly heat, which is very frustrating. To prevent the prickly heat, start to drink lemon juice, wear cotton clothes and maintain the weather condition cool by AC or air cooler.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
