Navin Taneja, director, National Skin Centre, says prickly heat rash is also common during rainy days.
“Prickly heat rash is a red pimply eruption which is very common in hot and humid weather. This kind of weather causes sweating, but clogging the skin pores does not allow the sweat to get out and as a result, prickly heat rash pops up,” said Taneja.
