Erythema Ab Igne

Workers with prolonged exposure to heat from open flames, such as welders, glass workers, foundry workers, blast-furnace workers (Schwartz 1947) open field cooks (Olumide et al. 1991) bakers and silversmiths (Page and Shear 1993), may develop striking reticulate pigmentation called erythema ab igne. After many years, these individuals may also develop thermal keratoses which may show only cutaneous epidermal dysplasia, squamous cell carcinoma in situ, or become invasive squamous cell carcinoma (Schwartz and Stoll 1993). [Pg.280]

Erythema ab igne can occur in athletes at the sites of chronically used hot packs or heating pads. Typical sites include lower back and anterior legs. Erythema abigne may progress to squamous cell carcinoma (Arrington and Lockman 1979) there is no effective treatment, and it generally fades in time. [Pg.1080]
