Article Synopsis
- Miliaria crystallina is a skin condition caused by blocked sweat ducts, leading to clear fluid-filled vesicles on the skin.
- It's mainly triggered by heat and humidity, and commonly affects infants and children, though it's rare in adults.
- The condition is self-limited and can improve with cool, dry, and well-ventilated treatment; a case is presented to highlight awareness among clinicians about its occurrence in adults, particularly during hospitalization.

They are considered to originate from neoplastic transformation of either the intestinal pacemaker cells of Cajal or the precursor pluripotential stem cells. The genetic basis of GIST growth is an activating mutation of two receptor tyrosine kinases.
