Heat Rash ('Prickly Heat')

Blame blocked sweat ducts. Heat rash looks like small red or pink pimples. You usually see it on the head, neck, and shoulders of babies. The rash often comes when well-meaning parents dress a baby too warmly. But it can happen to any child in very hot weather. Dress your baby in only one more layer than you're wearing. It's OK if his feet and hands feel cool to the touch.
