One of the plagues that face the man on earth is the itching of their body. As much as we buy lotions and creams that will help in having a good body condition, the tough time some people face in countries that have mosquitoes is another issue. Therefore, this is focusing on helping to differentiate eczema and Heat rash, which might be part of the causes of body itching. Eczema is a skin rash. It usually occurs among children when they are of five years and less.

This can occur in almost any part of the body as a red bump, thick, dry, and scaly. But when this happens to children, they always scratch and scratch, which might even lead to another skin problem. But when we are talking about heat rash, this usually erupts as red bumps on people who are fair most especially. Heat rash can occur on the enclosed parts of the body, like the neck, armpit, elbow folds, and back of knees. It can happen in children of any age.

Both eczema and heat rash are problems that occur to the skin. They are painful and cause problems for the person with one of these. However, there are differences between the two, including the cause of both of these. They are each caused by something different. Heat rash, as the name implies, is caused by heat possibly by the sun. Eczema is caused by some allergen, usually from the environment.

Sometimes, dust or laundry detergent could be the cause of eczema. Eczema takes a lot more time to heal than heat rash. Heat rash looks similar to pimples. They are found in elbow and knees. Eczema is often found in areas that are touched frequently like fingertips. One similarity is that they both can get worse with heat.
