Miliaria crystallina – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/796835029

Miliaria crystallina is characterised by the formation of numerous tiny clear vesicles in the stratum corneum as a result of superficial occlusion of the eccrine sweat duct. It is often seen in febrile illnesses associated with profuse sweating. It also commonly occurs in infants due to immaturity of the sweat ducts.
