Abstract
- Erythema ab igne is a reticulated erythematous hyperpigmented eruption that occurs after chronic exposure to heat. Reducing or eliminating contact with the sources of heat in the early stages of the disorder may allow the hyperpigmentation to fade. Longer exposure, however, results in permanent hyperpigmentation and dysplastic change, upon which squamous cell carcinoma may arise. Herein we report two cases of erythema ab igne which are showing dysplastic change.
