Talk:Miliaria

message: "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)

message: [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)

message: In George Orwell's 1935 novel, BURMESE DAYS, based on his 1920's experience as a colonial policeman, focuses on the racism of the English colonists.  He has a scene in chapter 10, where two "Eurasians" - illegitimate sons of English men and Burmese women - try unsuccessfully to mingle with the English colonists, and talk of little else than how badly their prickly heat pains them.  The protagonist explains, "Their drop of white blood is the sole asset they've got.  Poor Francis, I never meet him but he begins telling me about his prickly heat.  Natives, you see, are supposed not to suffer from prickly heat - bosh, of source, but people believe it.  It's the same with sunstroke.  They wear those huge topis to remind you that they've got European skulls.  A kind of coat of arms. ... They're complete outcasts.  It's not considered quite the thing to talk to them, in fact." 71.178.242.140 (talk) 15:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Link to list of skin diseases

message: The article says that it's a skin disease. I assume that means that only some people get miliaria. Why? Is it hereditary or contagious?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.251.79.113 (talk) 13:22, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Why do some people get miliaria?

message: Hello to all! I am proposing a merge from the following articles into this article:
* Occlusion miliaria
* Postmiliarial hypohidrosis
* Colloid milium
* Miliaria crystallina
* Miliaria profunda
* Miliaria pustulosa
* Miliaria rubra
This is for the following reasons:
* The main article would benefit significantly from having all this information in one place.
* These articles are very short in length (1-2 sentences) and have not been edited significantly in 3-4 years.
* This knowledge shouldn't be obscured from readers of this article by virtue of being isolated in an obscure article of 1-2 lines.
* These topics may receive more attention by being mentioned in the main article.
* The articles, if needs be, could be re-expanded at a later date.
