Possible Complications of Heat Rash
In most cases, heat rash tends to resolve on its own in 2 to 3 days. However, when the rash is severe, your infants or children might scratch it frequently, which increases the risks of infection. Typical signs of an infection caused by heat rash include pus, red streaks in the affected area, pain, warmth, swelling, redness, swollen lymph nodes, or a fever. If parents notice any of these complications, make sure to inform the pediatrician immediately to prevent further issues. [4]
