Symptoms and Treatments for Miliaria

3. Burning Sensation

A burning sensation can develop as a result of miliaria which some people have described as wildfire. Because this sensation can spread rapidly, it can cause concern for the affected individual. A burning sensation is the result of an obstruction of the sweat gland which leads to the gland secretion between the different layers of the skin. Even though this symptom spreads rapidly, it can also dissipate within a few hours, especially if the irritant is no longer active. To reduce the likelihood of developing a burning sensation in the skin, keep clear of hot and humid areas for extended periods of time.
