What is prickly heat (heat rash)?
Prickly heat, which is also known as heat rash, is a type of rash that happens when you sweat a lot. Excessive sweating leads to your sweat glands becoming blocked, trapping sweat in your pores and causing the rash to appear a few days later. Heat rashes can spread throughout your body, but they aren’t contagious, so you needn’t worry about passing prickly heat to other people. When you have a heat rash you’ll notice a couple of common symptoms, including small red spots on your skin, redness, mild swelling, and the itchy, prickly feeling that gave the rash its name.
How will Snake Brand Prickly Heat Powder treat my heat rash?
Snake Brand Prickly Heat Powder uses two key ingredients which are thought to help soothe your prickly heat rash. These ingredients are menthol and camphor and they provide a cooling sensation to your skin that may ease irritation and is thought to slow down the production of sweat in the area. These ingredients are combined in a fine talcum powder which sits on your skin after application, helping to prevent friction in the affected area so you’ll quickly feel more comfortable.
