Suggest Remedy For Prickly Heat Rashes On The Back
Question: Hello Dr. Kanodia,
Hope you are doing well. With the onset of peak summer my problems with skin diseases begin and I write to you as always for your valuable suggestions which always work for me and I am really grateful to you for that.
This time it is prickly heat rashes on my back with burning discomfort & itching from the last 1 week. I have started applying Abzorb powder from the last 2-3 days, however there is no relief. It gets worse in the evenings and I have to take a bath for relief.
Also I sweat a lot which causes fungal infection in the groin & anal area. Have been using DK gel and absorb talc.
Request you to please suggest.
Thanks,
XXXXX
