Some people are susceptible to prickly heat, others not. t may attack you at any time; in fact, a customer who called in yesterday said that he had had it the first time this year since he came out 31 years ago.
One of the best preventatives and curatives is Ti-Tree Soap. Washing once or twice a day in this soap usually keeps prickly heat away or clears it up quickly. Watson's Prickly Heat Lotion or Camphorated Prickly Heat Talcum are both curatives. The Lotion is soothing and dries on the skin; the Talcum is dusted on and absorbs the perspiration.
Prickly heat is caused by irritated sweat glands and can only be effectively remedied by external applications of suitable medicaments.
