miliaria crystallina

Hi
Is there a cure for Miliaria Crystallina or any creams etc: that would take this away, as for me it seems more prominant in cooler weather.

Hello,
Cetaphil is a good option as it is hypoallergenic and mild in nature.

Hope it helps.Take care and regards.

Hello kindd
Thanks for your reply.  Can I ask would Cetaphil work for this or the Aveeno products?

Hello,
Miliaria is thought to be caused by blockage of the sweat ducts, which results in the leakage of eccrine sweat into the epidermis or dermis. Topical treatments that have been advocated involve lotions containing calamine, boric acid, or menthol; cool wet-to-dry compresses; frequent showering with soap (although some discourage excessive use of soap); topical corticosteroids; and topical antibiotics.In severe cases,oral antibiotics may be taken.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.

Calamine lotion should be ok but my not cure the problem.Some times antibiotics are recommended too.
