Burning Question
Hot water bottles, heated blankets, heating pads and even laptops can feel like lifesavers when you’re cold or in pain but what happens when repeated heat starts damaging your skin?
In this episode of the Consultation Room Podcast, we’re talking about toasted skin syndrome, also known as erythema ab Igne a skin reaction caused by repeated exposure to heat that isn’t hot enough to burn you outright, but can still cause damage over time.
We discuss what toasted skin syndrome can look like, why people who regularly use hot water bottles or heated blankets may be more at risk, the warning signs to look out for, and when changes to the skin should be checked by a healthcare professional.
We also ask an important question: how much heat is too much heat?
A useful listen for anyone who sleeps with a hot water bottle, uses heated blankets regularly, or reaches for heat therapy whenever they have aches and pains.
