It's summer. We all know, that bungang-araw/prickly heat is one of the challenges most of us faces during this season. My kids are one of those who suffers from that itchy skin problem.
Here's a list of effective home remedies we have tried:
Aloe Vera Gel - this one is very effective. We store it in the refrigerator. The cooling effect is very refreshing and it moisturizes the skin.
Calamine Cream - it is to relieve itchiness as per our doctor.
MoringaO2 Therapy Oil - our little girl's moisturizer since she was diagnosed with skin asthma. Very helpful, safe, and effective for the whole family too.
Cetirizine - the doctor advised me to give cetirizine to my kids when they have skin problems to relieve the itchiness and prevent the kids from scratching. We use Allerkid for I think almost 10 years now.
Avoid scratching. It will make the skin problem worst and open wounds will possibly cause infection. Kids cannot resist the call of scratching no matter how many times you remind them not to. So pay attention especially when they're asleep. Make sure their nails are short or make them wear gloves.
Take a bath more than 2x a day. What we do is take a bath 4-5x a day. 1 regular bath and 4 short ones. As per doctor, it will effectively make the body temperature cool down as well as the sweating that causes the bungang-araw/prickly heat.
Use mild soap. MoringaO2 Herbal Soap is very helpful to my family's skin problems. Proven and tested. You may check this one https://mommynifivensix.blogspot.com/2017/09/moringao2-my-familys-love.html
Moisturized. Frequent bath will cause skin dryness and it will cause itchiness. Apply lotion right after stepping out of the bathroom. Doctor's advice is within 10 minutes, you should make sure that you moisturized your skin after taking a bath.
Drink a lot of water. We drink 10 glasses of water a day, but during summer we take a sip or two every 30 minutes.
Stay in a cool place. Avoiding places with direct sunlight or rooms and area of the house that has higher temperature. Cover the windows that faces the sunny direction with black curtains to avoid the sunlight passing through.
Keep Cool. Breath. Relax yourself. Stop doing anything that will make you sweat.
That's it. Hope these tips will help you.
