Milliaria is also sometimes called a heat rash. It's most common in babies, but it can happen to anyone. Milliaria typically occurs on parts of the body that are covered with clothing. It happens because sweat glands get plugged up and sweat can't escape from the skin. The result can be a rash of small bumps, sometimes red and sometimes not. It will typically disappear in a couple days.
