“…Electric heater, automobile seat heater, open fires, heating pads, steam radiators, laptop computer, hot water bottles, hot water heaters, hot stove, microwave popcorn, and infrared lamps‐like agents had been shown to cause EAI . In our study, the lesions were most frequently seen in the lower legs.…”

“…Although the pathophysiology of EAI is not fully understood, recurrent heat exposure is thought to cause damage to superficial blood vessels, resulting in hemosiderin accumulation and subsequent hyperpigmentation. 1,3,6 Changes in the microscopic level in the skin typically occur due to cumulative and long-term exposure to infrared radiation. Microscopic changes also depend on the type of heat source.…”

“…[2][3][4][5] The prognosis of the disease is good if an early measure is taken for heat exposure. 6,7 To our best knowledge, although there are a large number of case reports [8][9][10][11] on EAI, there are no retrospective or prospective studies involving a large number of patients for clinical features and etiologic reasons. The aim of this study was to investigate the demographic and clinical features, etiology of patients with EAI who admitted to our clinics.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the demographic and clinical features, etiology of patients with erythema ab igne (EAI) who presented to our clinics. Materials and Methods The present study was conducted on 71 patients who were admitted to our dermatology clinics between April 2018 and June 2019 and were diagnosed with EAI by clinical or histopathological examination. Age, gender, localization of lesions, and etiologic causes of lesions were recorded. Results Of the 71 patients, 48 (67.6%) were women and 23 (32.4%) were men. The mean age of the patients was 28.6 ± 10.4 years. Most of the lesions were localized (60.6%, n = 43) on the anterior aspect of both legs. Among the etiological reasons, 53 (74.6%) patients had exposure to heater, 14 (19.7%) patients had exposure to stove, 2 (2.8%) patients had laptop use, 1 (1.4%) patient had tandoor contact, and 1 (1.4%) patient had exposure to hot water bag. One patient was diagnosed with bullous EAI. Conclusion In conclusion, EAI was also more common in females and lower extremities, which is in accordance with the literature. However, the mean age of occurrence in our study is younger when compared with that in the literature. One case of EAI due to the use of tandoor in our study has not been reported previously. It should be kept in mind that bullous EAI may develop in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Erythema ab igne (EAI) is a typical example of an environmental-induced dermatosis secondary to overexposure of a particular part of the skin to heat. Once a familiar entity in the precentral heating era, it seems to be making a comeback with prolonged usage of electronic devices close to the body surface as well as usage of alternative methods of pain relief being sought by patients. We describe a case of a 39-year-old female who presented to our clinic with a mottled reticulate rash on her back after five years of using heating pads for her chronic backache.
