Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Cutaneous Medicine

Background:

  • Erythema ab igne is a skin condition characterized by reticulate hyperpigmentation, erythema, epidermal atrophy, and telangiectasia.
  • It results from repeated exposure to heat sources.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a bullous form of erythema ab igne.
  • This involved bullae and crusts within a localized area of reticular, brown, macular pigmentation.
  • The affected area on the leg had recent, repeated close exposure to an electrical heater.

Findings:

  • The case describes bullous erythema ab igne, a rare presentation.
  • This condition is characterized by the development of blisters and crusts.

Implications:

  • Bullous erythema ab igne should be recognized as a distinct variant of erythema ab igne.
  • This variant might be underreported in medical literature.
  • Clinicians should consider this diagnosis in patients with similar presentations and heat exposure history.
