Comfortable Clothing
Prickly heat is a type of contact rash induced by wearing overly tight clothing or excessive layers, preventing skin from breathing. Prickly heat occurs when the skin’s sweat becomes clogged. People with sensitive skin frequently have hives when wearing leather, wool, or other materials that rub against their skin repeatedly. Choose comfortable clothing made of cotton or hypoallergenic materials if you can identify the elements causing the hives.
Your skin may become irritated by the interaction of sweat and tight clothing. Because clothing directly touches your skin for most of the day, your pants, shirts, and underwear will probably cause skin problems. Frequently, the source is a chemical in the dye or other components of the clothes. Formaldehyde resins, which are used to manufacture wrinkle-free or dirt-repellent clothes, might cause issues.
The first step in preventing itching is to avoid wearing the irritating item. Wear natural fabrics and loose clothing to help reduce sweating. Pick clothing with lighter hues and less dye. Also, avoid things with the instruction to “wash separately” because they tend to bleed dye. Wearing clothing marked “wash and wear,” “permanent press,” “no-iron,” or “dirt-repellent” is not recommended. They probably contain substances that make your skin itch. Your skin should clean up after a few weeks.
