What is miliaria rubra also known as?

Prickly heat
Hyperhidrosis
Alopecia areata
Seborrheic dermatitis

The correct answer is: Prickly heat

Miliaria rubra, also known as prickly heat, is a skin condition that is caused by clogged sweat glands. This results in small, itchy red bumps on the skin. This is different from hyperhidrosis which is excessive sweating and alopecia areata which is hair loss. Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition that causes scaly patches and red skin.
