The skin regulates body temperature through blood flow, but extreme temperatures can cause skin damage like frostbite or burns. This review covers various temperature-dependent skin disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Thermoregulation
  • Environmental Medicine

Background:

  • The skin maintains homeostasis with the environment, notably through thermoregulation.
  • Skin temperature fluctuates via cutaneous blood flow to preserve core body temperature.
  • Extreme temperatures can lead to severe skin injuries such as frostbite and burns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review temperature-dependent skin disorders.
  • To highlight the role of temperature in various dermatological conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of temperature-related skin conditions.
  • Discussion of pathogenic factors in temperature-dependent disorders.

Main Results:

  • Prolonged moderate heat/cold exposure can cause erythema ab igne and chilblains.

  • Temperature directly influences physical urticarias.
  • Temperature is a key factor in Raynaud's syndrome, cold panniculitis, and cryoglobulinemia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Skin's role in thermoregulation is critical for homeostasis.
    • Various skin conditions are directly caused or exacerbated by temperature.
    • Understanding these temperature-dependent disorders is crucial for diagnosis and management.
