Miliaria Crystalline

Crystal prickly heat or prickly heat with crystals (lat. P. cristallina) is one of the types of scaly (weeping) lichen. It develops after exposure to UV rays, despite the fact that no direct connection has been identified between this disease and sunlight. A special type of immune disorder that appears externally as small red blisters. They clog pores and cause the surface layers of the skin to peel off. As a rule, the first rash to appear is on the face, upper half of the torso and arms, and after a while - on the legs and in the interscapular area. More often it develops in males who have reached 40-45 years of age and suffer from pathologies of the endocrine system. When a floury exfoliation appears on the body, the skin itches or begins to bleed. Crystallized miliaria (Pityriasis cristata; M71.2 according to ICD-10), unfortunately, causes serious discomfort to the patient and requires observation by a dermatologist. Sometimes crystalline peeling of the skin can disappear on its own, without any external influences. If it bothers you for quite a long time or the symptoms are complicated, you cannot do without seeking medical help.
