Try taking the low dose anti histamine tablets ie those 1 a day tablets for hayfever. I've found they stop prickly heat cos its an allergic reaction to heat and sun.

OKs mental note to self Must read all messages before I reply lol

Just read about a cream that you can buy in Egypt called Clipp - in yellow, blue and white box. Might be worth a go.

I suffer from this ailment myself!! I keep thinking I've come up with something new and original and it's all been said and done before

Hi Queenie - is Clipp to stop the prickly heat or to soothe it once you've got it?

JUst read about Clipp on another forum too. Its a 'smoothing and rejuvenating cream' which you can smear everywhere, 12LE for a 62g tube from the pharmacy, reading its 'ingredients' I'd guess its the lemon oil that does the trick.

For that price its got to be worth a go.

Hi everyone - not sure if this is the right place to post this but have just come back from Aldi's and picked up some citronella candles. Some I picked up were tartlets in a terracota saucer (a 3 pack) and also a chrome small bucket with a large citronella candle inside - £1.29 each.
I am sure I read somewhere that these citronella candles were good for mozzies?

If mods want to transfer this post to a mozzie posting - if there is one - then please do! I was just really pleased with the prices and they will look quite attractive outside. Partner has a very bad reaction to mozzies both in this country and abroad. Couple of weeks ago he was on antibiotics as his ankle swelled up to twice its original size - a bit worrying! - will probably place these candles on a table and the floor.

Hope this all helps everyone - just love a bargain!
