Erythema ab igne, also known as hot water bottle rash, is a skin condition caused by long-term exposure to heat (infrared radiation). Prolonged thermal radiation exposure to the skin can lead to the development of reticulated erythema, hyperpigmentation, scaling and telangiectasias in the affected area. Some people may complain of mild itchiness and a burning sensation, but often, unless a change in pigmentation is seen, it can go unnoticed.

Erythema ab igne irhashalala ebangelwa kukuvela ngokuphindaphindiweyo kubushushu okanye kwimitha ye-infrared. Ihlala ivela kwimisebenzi okanye ekusebenziseni iipads zokufudumeza. Unyango oluphambili kukususa umthombo wobushushu. Irhashalala inokuphela ngokuhamba kwexesha, kodwa inokushiya i-hyperpigmentation esisigxina okanye i-scarring. Unyango olufana ne-tretinoin okanye i-hydroquinone lunokunceda ngokuzingisela kwepigmentation. Erythema ab igne is a rash characterized by a reticulated pattern of erythema and hyperpigmentation. It is caused by repeated exposure to direct heat or infrared radiation, often from occupational exposure or the use of heating pads. The primary treatment of this disease entity is the removal of the offending heat source. The resulting abnormal pigmentation of affected areas may resolve over months to years; however, permanent hyperpigmentation or scarring may persist. Treatments for hyperpigmentation, such as topical tretinoin or hydroquinone, can be useful in treating persistent hyperpigmentation.
Iindidi ezahlukeneyo zemithombo yobushushu zinokubangela le meko efana nale:
- Ukusetyenziswa okuphindaphindiweyo kweebhotile zamanzi ashushu, iingubo zokufudumeza okanye iipads zokufudumeza ukunyanga iintlungu ezingapheliyo.
- Ukuboniswa okuphindaphindiweyo kwizihlalo zemoto ezishushu, izifudumezi zendawo, okanye iindawo zomlilo. Ukuboniswa okuphindaphindiweyo okanye ixesha elide kwi-heater kungunobangela oqhelekileyo kubantu abadala.
- Iingozi zomsebenzi weengcibi zesilivere (silversmiths) kunye nabathengisi bemigexo (jewellers) (ubuso obuvezwe bubushushu), ababhaki kunye nabapheki (iingalo, ubuso).
- Ukuphumla ilaptop kwithanga (laptop‑induced erythema ab igne).
