Frequently the skin becomes irritated due to excessive perspiration after exposure to heat. Wearing excessive clothing in hot weather is a contributing cause. The inflammation occurs most often in the folds of the skin about the neck, and under the breasts, but occasionally also on the chest and back and between the thighs.
The reddened skin develops little tiny, transparent blisters filled with a clear fluid. The itching and burning may be severe. Prevention of contact of the surfaces of the skin will give the inflamed area a chance to heal.
As recovery from the irritation occurs the dead skin may peel away. The greatest danger arises, however, from too much treatment, which increases the inflammation and gives opportunity for pus germs to invade.
The utmost cleanliness is important in all irritations of the skin, because damaged tissue gives opening to dangerous germs. The inflamed area may be washed with warm water and a bland soap, then dried carefully by patting without rubbing and powdered with a suitable powder. The physician will often prescribe a soothing lotion, like calamine lotion.
