Symptoms and Treatments for Miliaria

10. Heat Powder

Applying powder to the skin can be an effective and affordable treatment for many people, especially in lower-income tropical countries that don’t have access to more advanced treatment forms. Heat powder is usually made from talc, but other ingredients are also added including milk proteins and Triclosan. Together, these elements fight infection and help to keep the skin clear of bacteria and irritation. Even though heat powder can’t treat miliaria on its own, it can help to reduce the severity of symptoms such as irritation and itchiness. Don’t use talc powder if you notice a worsening of symptoms.
