Thread: Ultrasun sun cream

I didn't know what Prickly Heat was, so I looked it up: Miliaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It's often referred to as Heat Rash here. I've had it before, but I just figured I was allergic to the sun - lol! Wiki says it's caused by blocked sweat glands, so my first and most obvious suggestion would be exfoliation, but that's probably something you've already tried. And I don't think it's ever...

We are moving over to the US from the UK. My son and I both suffer from prickly heat and use a suncream called ultrasun.It's the only one that guarantees that we won't get PH.I think it is swiss.I only know one store near us that stocks it, but I have seen it at airports. Has anyone seen it in the US? I guess if not available in stores I might be able to find an online source. Just curious.

Some of the products in the UK aren't available here. When I was last there I bought a lot of sunscreen--it's better then what we have here.

I have successfully used a diaper rash product called Boudreaux's Butt Paste. It was developed by a pediatrician near New Orleans and works well in humid heat where you sweat a lot. The OP is moving near Charlotte, NC, right? So I think this would work well. Charlotte can get very humid. I can buy the stuff in Utah at Wal-Mart and my local grocery. I think it's sold everywhere now.
