Talk:Miliaria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Once triggered, an attack of miliaria commonly lasts 5-6... This takes several weeks. Treatment cannot influence this process but may be used to relieve symptoms. "
"but in most cases the rashes disappear by themselves within several weeks"
"In most cases, these simple steps alone will make the rashes disappear naturally in a few days. If they persists, it may be advisable to consult a doctor in case a more serious infection is occurring."
A little bit of contradiction there. -- Dodo bird 19:16, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Reading the linked sources at the bottom of the page, DermNetNZ says 5-6 weeks, and all other links say 'several days'. I would guess the latter is correct. Plus, that has been my experience. --TorenC 04:31, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion moved from article page
[Need to resolve seemingly contradictory statements. Under Clinical it says, "Once triggered, an attack of miliaria commonly lasts 5-6 weeks..." and under Treatment it says the rash can be gone in a few days with simple care. The above sources are inconsistent on this.] [Perhaps they were referring to severe attacks of miliaria as lasting 5-6 weeks and mild miliaria as being treatable within a few days.]
This is a good question about the article, instead of leavign this discussion there, I've put verify tags on this Inner Earth 15:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I've tried to clarify the apparent discrepancy. Severe infections can last weeks. Early and continuous treatment of minor infections can effect recovery within a matter of days. I know from personal experience in the jungle of Panama that complete recovery can be achieved in three (painful, annoying) days. SWAdair 07:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Witch Hazel
Since this is an astringent, could this help provide at least some temporary relief?Eddieuny 23:49, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
