Dekasan Cooling & Refreshing Prickly Heat Powder

Prickly heat is caused by trapped sweat. When the body is hot, it activates the sweat glands to create sweat on the skin. The sweat then cools the skin as it evaporates. When the body is kept in this warm state, the constant sweat production can overload the sweat glands. If untreated, the blocked pores may cause a fungal infection.
