Miliaria profunda - what does this mean
Miliaria profunda is a heat rash caused by sweat ducts becoming obstructed and sweat being trapped beneath the skin. it is characterized by deep, red, itchy nodules that can be painful and may become infected if scratched.
What happens during the disease - miliaria profunda
Miliaria profunda is a condition caused by a blockage of the sweat ducts, leading to the formation of sweat-filled cysts in the deeper layers of the skin. this blockage is caused by a combination of physical factors, such as occlusive clothing and high temperatures, as well as an individual's genetic predisposition to the condition. the trapped sweat then leads to inflammation and the formation of cysts, which can cause localized itching and pain.
