health π©Ή Laptop heat can cause 'toasted skin' rash
Toasted skin syndrome, or erythema ab igne, is a skin reaction from repeated moderate heat exposure. This was seen in a homeschooled boy who spent eight hours daily with a laptop on his abdomen. The condition involves a net-like rash appearing reddish or brown due to prolonged heat contact. While mild cases can improve, severe exposure risks skin thinning and potential skin cancer. It is best to use laptops on a desk to prevent this damage. π©Ί
