  Miliaria, also known as eccrine miliaria, is a common skin condition caused by the blockage of eccrine sweat glands and ducts. This obstruction leads to the backflow of eccrine sweat into the dermis or epidermis, resulting in a rash characterized by sweat-filled vesicles under the skin. Miliaria is often referred to as „heat rash,” „prickly heat,” or „sweat rash,” and is most prevalent in warm, humid climates, especially during the summer. The rash is typically self-limiting and usually resolves without treatment. […] Management focuses on reducing sweating and preventing duct blockage through measures such as staying in cooler environments, wearing breathable clothing, and removing skin-occluding items. […] As hot and sweaty conditions are primary risk factors for miliaria, managing the condition involves implementing general measures to reduce sweating and prevent eccrine duct blockage. This includes creating cooler environments, wearing breathable clothing, exfoliating the skin, removing skin-occluding objects such as bandages or patches, and addressing febrile illnesses.
