miliaria
Sweat duct blockage
Miliaria is a skin condition caused by blocked sweat glands, producing small itchy bumps or blisters.
It typically occurs in hot, humid conditions when sweat cannot reach the skin's surface to evaporate.
Also called heat rash or prickly heat: The baby developed miliaria after spending the afternoon in the sun.
