What is 'toasted skin syndrome', increasingly common in children

Toasted skin syndrome, also known as Erythema Ab Igne (EAI), is a burn caused by prolonged exposure to low-intensity heat. Traditionally associated with the use of hot water bottles and heating pads, the condition has become increasingly common in children due to heat emitted by electronic devices such as computers, phones and laptops. A case review published by a researcher from Leicester NHS Trust reports the case of a child who arrived at the emergency room with a rash without apparent causes, returning two weeks later with worsening symptoms including pain on touch and peeling. Doctors warn about the need for awareness regarding the risks of prolonged use of electronic devices near the skin.
