The child becomes restless and tearful, as the rash causes itching and inflammation of the skin around the affected area. It is very important to differentiate the manifestations of sweating from the symptoms of other diseases and allergic reactions with similar symptoms.

Red sweating, as the name implies, differs from other types by the appearance of redness in the area of the formation of rash bubbles. The nodules are slightly larger than with other types of sweating – up to 2 mm in diameter, filled with a cloudy liquid.
