What is Miliaria Rubra also known as?

Sunburn
Prickly heat
Rosacea
Eczema

The correct answer is: Prickly heat

According to Medical News Today, Miliaria Rubra is a skin condition commonly known as "prickly heat." It occurs when sweat becomes trapped under the surface of the skin, causing small red bumps and itching. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they all refer to different skin conditions. Sunburn refers to skin damage caused by excessive exposure to the sun, rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness and sensitivity, and eczema is a skin condition characterized by red, itchy patches. These conditions are not synonymous with Miliaria Rubra or prickly heat.
