The weather here in our country is very hot. There are times when I would have prickly heat on my skin. Its very itchy, like an allergy. Im controlling myself not to scratch it, I dont like to have scars on my skin in the future. What can you suggest, the best cure for this?

Use prickly heat powder! Or just take a cold shower when you feel hot, and use moisturizing lotion afterwards so you don't dry your skin out with the extra baths.

In my country, there is some kind of powder "prickly heat powder" available. I think Thailand is the country that has manufacturers produce such powder. After putting it on, you'll feel really cooling and good. When I was young, I used to out on a lot of prickly heat powder or else I will end up with rashes.

I've used baby powder on my legs when I had it and it worked wonders :)
