Understanding the difference between heat rash and sunburn can help you manage symptoms quickly โ and protect your skin from long-term damage.
Heat Rash often appears as tiny red bumps or a prickly feeling when sweat ducts become blocked. Itโs common during hot, humid days and improves with rest, cool air, and keeping skin dry.
Sunburn, on the other hand, is caused by UV exposure. Symptoms include red, painful, warm skin that may blister or peel. Repeated sunburn significantly increases your risk of skin cancer.
This summer, stay protected by:
โข Applying SPF 50+ sunscreen
โข Wearing protective clothing
โข Seeking shade
โข Keeping hydrated
