Causes of boils and rashes in children

In most cases, there are rashes on the back and boils on the head. Once the child is affected by this, he may also become irritable due to the pain. Dr Shah says that apart from protecting the child from the heat, keep it away from dust and dirt.

Ways to avoid boils and prickly heat
Dr Shah says that children and elders should also wear open and light-coloured clothes in summer. Always choose cotton fabric only. If the child has prickly heat or rashes, then bathe him with neem water.

Lack of cleanliness is believed to be the main reason behind the infection. Take special care of the child's hygiene to avoid overheating or skin problems.

Eating mangoes is also considered to be one of the reasons for the release of grains. Avoid eating mangoes or things made from it in excess and feeding them to children, because even this can cause heat in the stomach and rashes.

If you want, you can also apply ice or cold water, but for this first take the advice of an expert or a doctor.

If there is a problem of boils on the child's head, then virgin coconut or ordinary coconut oil can also be used to get rid of it.
