Erythema ab igne
Skin rash resulting from excess exposure to heat
Erythema ab igne
Erythema ab igne (Latin for 'redness from fire'), or EAI, also known as hot water bottle rash or toasted skin syndrome, is a skin condition caused by long-term exposure to heat (infrared radiation). Prolonged thermal radiation exposure of the skin can lead to the development of reticulated erythema, hyperpigmentation, scaling, and telangiectasias in the affected area. Some people may complain of mild itchiness and a burning sensation, but often, unless a change in pigmentation is seen, it can go unnoticed.
