In some cases, the bumps develop into small blisters, which may become irritated.
While the rashes can spread on the body, prickly heat rash is not infectious. The rashes commonly appear on the back, chest, neck, and shoulders.
Know When To Seek Medical Help
According to experts, prickly heat rash clears in a matter of days. If your child’s bungang araw persists for 7 days after starting treatment, bring your child to the doctor.
Furthermore, seek medical help if your child:
- Develops fever or chills
- Develops discharge from their lesions, such as pus
- Has swollen lymph nodes in their neck, armpit, and groin
- Has other symptoms like sore throat and body aches
