Cramps, body pains, muscle catch ?
Making heating pad our companion?
Or using laptop in its literal sense - by placing it directly on your lap?
Little did you what it could do to your skin🔥
Erythema ab igne (EAI) is a skin reaction caused by chronic exposure to heat / infrared radiation. ♨️
This is not just due to heating pads, it can be due to any heat direct to the skin such as :
1) Laptop💻
2) Hot water bottle
3) Heat exposure to arms of chefs 👩🏻🍳
4) Heaters ♨️
When there is exposure to heat which is insufficient to cause a direct burn, causes a mild & transient red rash.
Prolonged and repeated exposure causes chronic inflammation leading to patterned hyperpigmentation.
➡️ Treatment options :
Usually mild EAI will go away by itself. But in chronic cases, inspite of treatments, some pigmentation will tend to stay permanently.
.
In severe cases, pre- malignant skin changes can happen. So appropriate assessment is required to rule out malignancy and long term observation may be required.
Treatment options:
1. remove the offending agent.
2. Topical creams containing HQ, tretinoin , tranexemic acid etc ( strictly under Dermats prescription)
3. Chemical peels, lasers once the skin sensitive is taken care of.
4. Medications like 5-FU case to case basis.
