Can heat rash severity make you bed ridden?

In this case my response to this is yes, and speaking from experience which was early this year and we Nigerians knew how hot it was, so i developed heat rash and it was very severe to the point that i hardly wear clothes in the house and even at night i slept on the floor just to cool down my body.

Trust me heat rash can make a person go crazy most especially when you come back from work all heated up if you don't bath immediately trust me it can scratch you and even cause you to injure yourself.


Heat rash is a very bad kind of illness that is mostly very common during the dry season that there's always no rain but continous heat.


This will be were I'm going to call it a day and i will like to invite
