An individual who develops any form of miliaria will experience the development of some type of bumps or papules on their skin. Numerous parts of the body can be affected by this type of rash, but some are more common than others. Cases of heat rash that develop due to the friction of certain types of clothing or clothing that restricts the release of heat and moisture can cause areas this clothing would come in contact with to develop heat rash. Clothing-related cases of miliaria typically manifest on clothing covered areas that tend to sweat frequently, like the stomach, back, and chest. Miliaria that develops in infants tends to manifest on their trunk, neck, and head. Many individuals who develop miliaria rubra will experience the rash on their scalp, axilla, and neck folds. Individuals who develop miliaria profunda tend to be affected in areas like the extremities and trunk. Individuals who develop miliaria due to being on extended bed rest tend to have this rash on their back.
