A Yekaterinburg resident burned her legs while working on a laptop from home.

      At the Sverdlovsk Regional Dermatovenerological Dispensary, doctors encountered a rare case of skin damage known as "toasted skin syndrome," caused by prolonged use of a laptop. A resident of Yekaterinburg sought medical attention complaining of large, borderless rash spots on the skin of her upper thighs, in a brownish-maroon hue, with a net-like pattern and peeling. Initially, specialists suspected a vascular pathology; however, during a conversation with the patient, it became clear that she works remotely and uses her laptop for extended periods, placing it directly on her thighs. With the onset of warm weather, the contact with the heating device became more pronounced, leading to the development of a skin reaction. As the doctors explained, this is a case of thermal erythema—a chronic dermatosis that develops with prolonged exposure to moderate-intensity infrared radiation. In everyday life, this condition is also referred to as "toasted skin syndrome." Specialists note that in advanced cases, the disease can lead to persistent changes in the skin, including atrophy and an increased risk of developing certain types of skin tumors. In this case, the patient sought medical help in a timely manner; however, skin recovery will require time and medical supervision.
