Miliária
Sign in to saveAlso known as sweat rash, eccrine miliaria, heat rash, prickly heat
Miliaria, commonly known as heat rash, sweat rash, or prickly heat, is a skin disease marked by small, itchy rashes due to sweat trapped under the skin by clogged sweat-gland ducts. Similar to sunburn, miliaria is common in hot and humid conditions, such as in the tropics and during the summer. Although it affects people of all ages, it is especially common in children and infants due to their underdeveloped sweat glands.

Miliária é uma doença da pele caracterizada por lesões cutâneas pequenas e pruriginosas, causadas pela obstrução do fluxo do suor sob a pele devido a glândulas sebáceas entupidas. A miliária é comum em condições de calor e humidade, como nas regiões tropicais e durante o verão. Embora possa afetar pessoas de todas as idades, é particularmente comum entre crianças, devido ao pouco desenvolvimento das glândulas sebáceas.
