Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2016, every year there
03 are 80% of population whom experience prickly heat (miliaria), 65% of
which occur in infants and young children.
04 Miliaria can occur in men and women, all races and all ages.

-Ultraviolet radiation

CLINICAL FEATURES
TYPES OF MILIARIA
Most common
Location of obstruction Cutaneous lesions
locations
Non-pruritic, clear,
Crystallina Stratum corneum fragile, Face and trunk
1 mm vesicles
Pruritic, erythematous,
Rubra
Mid-epidermis 1–3 mm papules; Neck and upper trunk
(Prickly Heat)

Miliaria pustulosa is when pustules develop in lesions of miliaria rubra or preceded by another dermatitis
that has produced injury, destruction, or blocking of the sweat duct.

DIAGNOSIS
History taking:
• Asymptomatic but patients may experience pruritic and painful symptoms
if inflammatory response is involved.
• History of exposure to hot condition
• Live in tropical climate

DIAGNOSIS
Physical examination:
Inspection:
1. Miliaria crystalline
a) Consists of (1-2mm) miliar vesicles, subcorneal without
signs of inflammation, easily ruptured by scratching and
desquamation within a few days)
b) Predilection : trunk, face
2. Miliaria rubra
The most common type consists of miliar vesicles or
papulovesicles on an erythematous base around the sweat
ducts, scattered discretely

DIAGNOSIS
Physical examination:
Inspection:
3. Miliaria pustulose
The pustules are distinct, superficial, and independent
of the hair follicle.
b) The pruritic pustules occur most frequently on the
intertriginous areas, flexure surfaces of the extremities,
scrotum, and back of bedridden patients.
4. Miliaria profunda
a) Whitish Papules (1-3 mm), similar to folliculitis may be
accompanied by pustules
b) Predilection on trunk and proximal extremities

ADDITIONAL EXAMINATION
Cytological examination:
• Miliaria crystallina : Absence of inflammatory cells or giant keratinocytes

15
DIAGNOSIS
Histopatology:
• Miliaria crystalline : Intracorneal or subcorneal vesicles that are centered
on the acrosyringium corneal or intracorneal vesicles that are centered on
the acrosyringium with relatively little surrounding inflammation
• Miliaria rubra: Intraepidermal spongiosis and vesicles are seen along with a
chronic inflammatory infiltrate in the dermis

16
DIAGNOSIS
Histopatology
Miliaria profunda :
• Differs from rubra by the further rupture of eccrine ducts and more
significant lymphocytic inflammation.

TREATMENT
As miliaria is caused in hot and humid conditions, the primary treatment
and prevention for miliaria is to control heat and humidity
Non Pharmacology:
• Control local environment (remove excess bedding, fans, air conditioning)
• Cool the skin ( damp compresses, cool showers)
• Avoid tight or excessive clothing

TREATMENT
Pharmacology:
Miliaria crystallina Miliaria rubra Miliaria profunda
Self-limited 1. Antiseptic: Clorhexidine lotion • Anhydrous
(resolves without with salycilic acid 1% lanolin topical +
intervention) 2. Mild to moderate potency isotretinoin oral
corticosteroid: Triamcinolone 40 mg for 2
0,1 % cream for 1-2 weeks months
3. Betametasone 0,1 % twice daily
for 3 days,antihistamine (for
cases with severe itching)

COMPLICATION
• Complications that often occur in miliaria are secondary
infection and heat intolerance
• Secondary infection may present as impetigo.
• Miliaria rubra in young infants can predispose to multiple
staphylococcal abscesses.
• Heat intolerance develops in patients with miliaria profunda
and in a severe form known as tropical anhydrotic asthenia.

PROGNOSIS
• In neonates, Miliaria crystallina improves spontaneously as
the sweat ducts mature.
• Miliaria rubra improves if the predisposing etiological
factors( high heat/humidity and occlusion) are removed

25
CONCLUSION
• Miliaria is a disorder involving vesicles, papules, and pustules of the
skin due to blockage of sweat ducts and humidity.
• There are three types of clinically distinctive miliaria classified based
on the level of the obstruction : miliaria crystalina, miliaria rubra and
miliaria profunda.
• Specific modalities for the treatment of miliaria are unique
depending on the type.
