Miliaria crystallina - what does this mean
Miliaria crystallina is a type of heat rash that occurs when sweat ducts become blocked and sweat is unable to evaporate from the skin. it is characterized by small, clear, fluid-filled bumps on the skin that are often itchy and uncomfortable. it is most commonly seen in hot and humid weather, and is more common in children than adults.
What happens during the disease - miliaria crystallina
Miliaria crystallina is a type of sweat rash caused by obstruction of the sweat ducts. this obstruction is typically due to an accumulation of sweat within the sweat ducts, which can be caused by wearing tight clothing or being in a hot and humid environment. the sweat accumulates and is unable to escape, leading to an inflammatory reaction in the skin and the formation of small, clear, superficial blisters.
