TOASTED BUN SYNDROME

Do you use a heating pad? How about your seat heater? Lay your iPad or laptop on your lap? Well, be mindful of a condition called Erythema ab igne. It starts as a blotchy, pink rash that evolves into a lacy pattern. 

It can go away on its own if caught early enough and I may use retinoids to help discoloration, but in rare cases it can develop skin cancer. If it doesn’t go away, see a dermatologist. 🩺

Pro tip: Check your backside. 👀
