How to Treat Toasted Skin Syndrome
If you've had prolonged exposure to laptops, heated blankets, or space heaters, you may be familiar with a skin condition called Toasted Skin Syndrome. It's a type of rash that's caused by heat exposure to the skin. Symptoms of the rash include mild itching or burning and a red or brown rash with a distinct net-like pattern. Skin experts agree that the first step you should take to treat Toasted Skin Syndrome is to remove the heat source immediately. You can then apply topical creams that can stimulate collagen production on the location of the rash. To help with the discomfort associated with the burn or rash, consider taking OTC pain relievers and applying treatments like aloe vera, which can soothe the skin.
