It's the rainy season now in our country...I wonder why you still have that prickly heat? It's common during summer, isn't it? Anyway, at my age now, I do still get that itchy back during summer and my best home remedy is 50-50 baby powder and cornstarch (the one that is use for starching clothes). I take a bath more often and lavish my back with that combination of baby powder and cornstarch, it relieves the feeling of itchiness and the same time it dries up quickly the prickly heat on my back. However, there are over-the-counter creams and lotions for prickly heat like caladryl, calamine lotion and lactacyd to name a few.

You have to ensure that you always wear clean clothing. It actually not caused by the sun, but is a side effect of the heat that you are experiencing during hot days. When its hot bacteria tend to strive and grow at a faster rate. I would suggest you keep yourself under the shade. Get over the counter remedies for bacterial and fungal infections and apply them usually twice a day. It depends on the brand though.
