How to cure heat rashes for babies
My son is 6 months old. He has reddish rashes at certain areas of his body. He feels very hot every time of the day and needs AC all the times. He cries a lot due to the itching sensation. I guess these are heat rashes. What is the treatment of heat rashes in babies?

there are certain remedies u could follow
-Bathe your baby regularly and maintain a good hygiene practice.
-Select the right fabrics for your baby. Avoid rough fabrics, woolen clothes, and blankets. These are not recommended for babies as they have a sensitive skin type.
-Remember to dry the neck region (and other moisture-prone regions) after bathing your baby.Dry skin prevents accumulation of moisture in the skin folds. This helps in healing the rashes faster.
-Try to keep your baby in a cool and well-aired room as excessive heat causes perspiration in the skin folds and leads to skin rashes.
Next Steps
consult a paediatrician if the rashes dont disappear on its own or baby gets fever or there is any pus accumulation
