Foxtails embedded in the skin can burrow underneath and leave
draining areas of infection — we see these commonly in between the toes, and owners usually notice dogs licking at their feet and discharge from the affected area.
If your child develops a heat rash, pay close attention to possible signs
of an
infection which can include a fever higher than 100 Fahrenheit (37.8 Celsius), chills without a known cause, swollen lymph nodes (in the groin, armpit, or neck), pus
draining from the
area, red streaks from the
area, or an increase in warmth, swelling, redness, or pain in the affected
area.
It works by promoting good blood flow, which brings nutrients and agents
of the immune system to combat the
infection while
draining away toxins from the affected
areas.
