Thank you for always keeping us on a healthy path,. I lost my son three years ago today. Your videos helped bring me back to life.💜💜💜
God Bless you!
I am so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry about your son. 🙏🙏
Much love to you!

The suspense I felt waiting to find out what the “thing” was
I live in the southern hemisphere so seasons are flipped. This past winter I think I almost did this to myself by pointing a portable heater directly at my back multiple times a day. I think the only reason I was saved is that we moved into a warmer apartment and I didn’t need to use the heater anymore. This really needs to be more talked about!
This happened to me when about 2 or 3 years ago I was using a heating pad on my low back almost all winter. Since I don't look back there too often I was shocked. You could literally see where the coils had a reddened surface to that area. At a regular checkup to my derm she asked if I had back surgery. I told her what I had been doing, but she didn't tell me to stop, which I had already. I am fair skinned, but it literally took months for it to clear up. I have had squamous cell carcinoma in the past, so I sure hope she is diligent about checking my back. Thanks so much for this video. I will probably never use one again unless it is first protected by a thick towel.
This happened to one of my besties for exactly the same reason. She was using rice bags heated in the microwave. Her doctor forbid her from using heat once the problem was discovered.
@@laurabryannan good for her doctor for being so knowlgable!
Heat can be nice to relieve pain but safer solutions like low level infrared exist now instead of direct cutaneous heating that can damage surface skin.
Great timing! I’ve been using a heating blanket at night and I was noticing how red my legs were in the morning. Won’t be doing that anymore! Thanks for your great advice!
I used to get this on my thighs when I used my old MacBook on my lap. Those batteries ran hot. There was no permanent damage, though.
I definitely developed a bit of an addiction (for lack of a better word) to a heating pad and small space heater when working in a cold office setting. The space heater would be blowing directly on my shins and I developed discoloration there and the heating pad discolored both my lower back and thighs from sitting on them for the highest setting for hours at a time. What can I say, ya girl loves heat. Eventually I noticed the net type of pattern and it freaked me out enough to stop using both. I’m fair skinned and it took months but the marks did go away eventually. Roasted skin is an incredibly apt description, thank you for making more people aware of this!
The laptop one was super useful and is probably true for a lot of people. Thanks for that one Dr Dray! There's always something useful to takeaway from every video of yours❤
I have seen so much of this!! I am a surgical RN. When we have our patients come in to have steroid injections done on their back they have to lay facedown on our table and their skin looks brown/discolored and has a web pattern from them laying on heating pads! Thank you for bringing awareness to this!! Not many people know or realize what it does to their skin.
I sure will be more careful when using a heating pad or my electric blanket! Thanks for this valuable information. Happy Thursday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a lovely evening. 💙
🙏🕊🐈🐈🫖☕️☕️❤️💕❤️💕🕊🙏
I use a heating pad almost daily for my lower back pain & spasms. I always have a layer of clothing between and I have noticed some redness/webbing but it doesn’t last. I’m very fair skinned. I use it at a lower heat and not for hours and hours. I can’t be without it and nobody sees my lower back so I weigh the pros/cons and choose my beloved heating pad. Better than eating gobs of ibuprofen every day. Thanks for the info Doc. 😊
I also don't care enough about the skin effects on my back because I live with chronic pain. This normally goes away for me in summertime.
🙋🏼♀️
Happy Thursday Dr Dray,thank you for all your teaching.I am 59 and i am learning so much from you.❤
thanks for watching
Yessss I've been wanting a dermatologist to make a video about this!!! Thank you so much. I unfortunately developed chronic pain in my late teens / early 20s. Struggled to get effective treatment. Heat worked amazingly well to relieve the pain. Ended up frying my skin and got the toasted skin syndrome on my back in my early 20s. Lucky for me, after stopping use of heating pads for nearly a year, it faded completely. I now rarely use heating pads and mostly use hot baths for heat. So scary that it can lead to skin cancer! I hope that because I was so young and that it fully faded away, that my skin cancer risk is incredibly low. I didn't know any better back then, I was so young and uninformed. I showed my doctor at the time and they didn't have much to say about it.
Same here. Nobody believed me because I was so young and appeared completely healthy. I'm 46 years old now and hot baths are my thing!
@@myfuturepuglife I practically live in the bath lol. Is that your pug? So sweet! I have a seven month old pug, Gus. He's my first dog. Pugs are the best!
Thank you Dr Dray, this is a really useful information and I have now 'retired' my heat pad. I am not the slightest bit surprised that you have such loyal followers. Thank you again.
You have fluent pronunciation of difficult words, I love your videos ❤
Yap I have pancreas cancer and I use a heat pad and my belly and stomach is burn 🔥 looks exactly what you described looks terrible but can't stop that's the only thing that help ease the pain 😢😢
I'm sorry you are in pain from cancer :(
I have been using a heating pad on my lower back since yesterday because of menstrual cramps which had gotten worse during perimenopause. I just did not want to take pain medication. Thank you for this info, Dr. Dray.
Thank you so much!!! I looked at every possibility and was getting frustrated - turns out to be my affinity for my electric blanket - and sure enough, the rash appeared on the side of each leg (I sleep on my sides) - you have saved my skin! I love you!
I have it right now. I have been going into the sauna with my IWatch on. I noticed that my wrist was red and itchy under it. I was my husband who said it was the metal on the back of the watch that was "burning" me. So no more watch wearing in the sauna! Thank you so much for this important information. I will be careful and monitor the skin.
Never thought I would hear taquito handling safety mentioned in a skin care video 😆
lol!
definitely do NOT use the adhesive heating patch that are disposable. If you do use them , layer them between clothing & stick the adhesive to clothes, NOT your skin! 🙏🏻☦️ ✝️ Blessings and Happy New Year
I've never had any issues at all
I use a lap pad for my laptop but I always use the heat warmers in the car seat during winter. It keeps my back more comfortable and helps keep my back warm.
Happy Thursday Dr Dray so excited to be here I live for this ❤️
Morning!
@@DrDrayzday❤
Greetings David Shabas hope u r well n Happy Thursday😀👍💜….
@@whitneybrown4067 Happy Thursday Whitney😀👍
What great information, I’ve never heard of this before! Thank you for keeping us well informed As always! 🥰
I have this syndrome. I have endometriosis. I don't know what else to do. The heating pad makes me feel better. It's always between two layers of clothes, plus the pad has a cover. But I still have the toasted skin.😔
This might be something for folks who have animals to pay attention to as well since they let their animals use their heating pads but those can be too warm. There are heating pads made for animals specifically though.
Greetings d b hope u r well n Happy Thursday😀👍💜….
Omg my cat would murder me if I took away her heating pad. She’s married to that thing. They’re pretty mild though.
Aww, I've heard of folks using them on the lowest setting for pets and that seems to be okay.@@pharoah125
@pharoah125 Cats originated in hot climates. They hate the cold and rain and really do suffer. I won't take my cats electric blanket from them. Their fur helps protect their skin.
When I was young, I frequently used the steam room at the gym. Never bothered anything. Then, 5 years ago I did the same thing. I have been fighting hyperpigmentation from using the steam room ever since and have made very little progress with Hydroquinon, Cyspera, Alpha Arbutin, Vitamin C, and Tretinoin. My dermatologist has given up on me.
I used to go into the steam five years ago once a week. After hearing this from dermatologists I stopped using it, even though it didn't damage my skin.
Genetics can change over time, and your skin changes with this: Maybe gets drier or more sensitive! Or you develop a skin disease like I did at age 31!
I wish my favorite dermatologist a happy new year! 🌟🌟❤ 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Happy new year!!
I just adore the calming tree lights and snow globes in the background. 🥰I will really miss these when they're gone! 😥
Here in Maine, heating blankets, jackets, vests, gloves, etc. are very popular. I myself have never used any of these, but can see the appeal. The wind and cold here is harsh. A lot of people work outside in sub zero temperatures and need to keep warm somehow. This is great information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Many blessings for a wonderful healthy New Year!💖💖💖
Just when I'm about to buy a heating blanket this winter ... You're always a savior, Dr. Dray!
Good morning Dr Dray ❤
Morning!
I wonder whether those new IR-panels might cause damage as well, because they, by design, generate heat in objects (and thus, our skin as well) rather than the air
Very interesting video, as always, and an excellent choice of subject! Highly informative!
This is a great question!
Good question!!
I lay on a heating pad every night due to chronic back pain, but it’s a thick material and I have a shirt on.
Thank god i don't use heating pads or blankets or even put my laptop on my lap. It might sound silly but during winter i wear two pants in order to stay warm 😅. Thanks for pinpointing this one out Doctor Andrea 😊❤.
I wear double pants especially in January where it get extremely cold in texas
Gosh, hundreds of people in my employer's office each have a small heater under their desk. We are in the cold and dark Midwest. Damage noted! 😮
Have an awesome Thursday everyone!!
You too!!
I have used a heating blanket for years. It's to cold in my house without it. I keep a sheet between me and the blanket. Plus I do not keep on high numbers. Nothing has never happened. That's for the advise.
Thank you Dr. Gray. I was told this years ago by a nurse. She noticed red splotches on my lower back. I have chronic hip/back pain and put ice or either moist /dry heat to that area. I needed to be reminded of this. ❤
Happy Thursday!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! I also recently heard on the Huberman podcast that heat can degrade sperm (and maybe egg, as well) quality. People should be warned regularly of these dangers from the time they are very young.
Thanks for this. This is kind of a bummer because I depend on a heating pad for my severe menstrual cramps 😕
Same 😢
I am sure putting a warming bottle to your lower stomach once a month for a day or three won't do this damage....
If you stick to only using it that week for the month then you should be fine
Thank you so much, Dr. Dray. I had never heard of this condition.
Thank you for this video.I have had this problem for years mostly in the winter.I use an electric mattress pad in the winter and it is worse in the winter and now I know why. You nailed it.
Oh, I totally have that. Around the pelvic area and lower back. The relief has been worth it. 😔
I live in Colorado and use the heck out of heating pads, heated seats. Thank you for this education. OMG 😱
Thank you for this advice, what about saunas, infrared saunas and red light therapy?
Excellent question, I was wondering that too!!
She's talked about this in videos before. You can do a search, dr dray infrared, for the videos.
Sounds like what we’re in Scotland as Fireside Tartan before central heating we would hang coal fires. If you just have a coal fire the room can still be bitterly cold in the outer areas of the time, so your firing is cold and your back is cold. So people sit closer and closer to the fire and their legs would often end up very red and damaged.
As a college student years ago, I spent hours with my laptop directly on my lap. I had developed the discoloration (my doctor called it mottling during my physical one year, asking if it had always been there) when she pointed it out, I started reducing how much time my laptop sat directly on my lap.
It’s been years, and the mottled/net-like appearance had long since cleared. Now I know to keep an eye on that skin in the future. Thanks!
I sleep with a heating pad every night, very glad to know this I had no clue! (I knew it wasn’t smart but I assumed it was because of risk of actual burns or electrocution… it’s become more of a comfort/security blanket at this point.)
My blanket has a auto shut off button
That was such good info. I use a heating pad all the time and I have never heard of that.
This pattern used to be called abc's in Ireland, from sitting too close to the coal or wood burning fires, before central heating became standard.
Dr. Dray, your Christmas decor is beautiful! Thank you for all your advice!
I better remember this for the summer. I like to cover myself with scorching hot pebbles on the beach when I get out of the water. It feels just divine.
My son actually got this on his stomach from sitting with his laptop on his torso. The redness lasted for quite a white.
Dankeschön 🤗 das habe ich vorher nicht gewusst. Im Winter habe ich hin und wieder eine Wärmflasche im Bett. Gut zu wissen.
Happy Thursday, Dr. Dray ❤❤
Thank you very much for such an important and useful video! 👏 Serious life changing advice! Just shocked by how damaging heat, even from hot water bottles, can be!! 😳
Dr. Dray this information is so relevant to me. I sleep with a warming blanket ant sometimes paired with a heating pad because my bedroom is so cold. I have noticed my skin tingling/itching when the heat is removed. Fortunately no discoloration. as yet. I have a deeper skin t tone. I will abandon this practice immediately .Thanks!
Thank you so much for telling us. This is scary and so good to know
Heat can cause redness and inflammation for a lot of skin diseases, like Rosacea (which I suffer from)! I never had flushing or redness until I got this at age 31)!
I get that red swirly pattern that lasts a few hours to a day sometimes, because I have a hot water bottle on my stomach for warmth practically every day in winter. My mom had suggested to me in the past that I could get skin cancer from the heat, but I didn't believe her! I've never had hyperpigmentation, unless temporary redness counts, but I'm a Fitzpatrick 1, so that could have something to do with it.
I love my hot water bottle and couldn't be without it in winter or when I have a chill [now] 😊
Ive never had any problems whatsoever so i will keep doing this ive been doing this since i was 5 and im now 41 and when you live in a tent you need all the warmth you can get
Really helpful info..thanks Dr. Dray!
Sounds like infrared radiation is probably pretty damaging to the skin. So I am guessing this applies well to infrared saunas. I was surprised that I couldn't find many studies on the usage of infrared saunas though like a lot of things on the internet ... things are often not cited when one makes health claims. One study that is often cited doesn't have the same conditions as one would find in an infrared sauna. The subjects faces were only exposed to heat around 32 C which is less than that found in infrared saunas. Though it does seem to be an interesting case that infrared radiation is maybe dose dependent, like a little can help and bring beneficial effects but too much at one time can be really damaging to the skin.
This happened to me. I was so upset bc I have a lot of issues with hyperpigmentation. Fortunately it went away after a couple months
I have wondered about this and I even talked to my dermatologist about it and she just said the patches were psoriasis, but they were both in places where I had had a heater repeatedly exposed to it. I had even mentioned that, but by the time I was fed up and went into the dermatologist it was also in the Summer when it had looked better and not as severe, but still wasn't going away.
That was quite interesting and educational Dr Dray. Sorry while trying to watch this in the wee hours early this morning, I fell asleep so I restarted it later this morning at 9:15! See you at noon or around noon!😊
God bless you, I’m convinced you’re an angel in the flesh
My husband and I have an electric blanket that we just but we will turn it on about an hour before bed and let it warm up but we turn it off when we get in bed. We use it just to warm up the bed. My dog also loves it.
Would an infrared sauna blanket cause this? I recently purchased one and am now hesitant to use it.
Oh great something else to worry me. I did wonder why my skin looked lied this on my low back
Thank you for talking about this! This happened to me last year when I was using a heating pad to manage chronic pain. At the time, I noticed my skin changing, but I had no idea it could be harmful.
I got this from a laptop about 17 years ago! Never knew it was a thing!
For people like us living in India where you find mostly hot weather ☁️🌡️ is too brutal to the skin. In the summer we go through close to 45-48 degrees in some parts of the country. We love winter out here. 😅
I love winter and cold weather as well.
I've experienced this with a laptop on my bare thighs. I saw a story about it online somewhere and immediately stopped putting my laptop on my legs. Thank you for letting everyone know about it. It's not pretty at all. Luckily I hadn't been doing that very long so it healed within about a month or so.
Wonderful Information as Always Dr. Dray!! Happy Thursday have a Fantastic Day!! Thank You so Much!!💕

Thanks for this video, I was thinking about a sauna blanket but I probably will give it a miss now. Happy new year everyone 🎉
Because my bedroom lacks sufficient insulation to stay warm in the winter, I use a space heater so I don’t get hypothermia overnight. I have it set so that if it is below a certain temperature, it turns on. However, sometimes it ends up staying on the whole night due to this, and I have woken up with it still running before. This past week I woke up in the morning after a night with the heater on, and when I washed my face and did all my normal skincare, everything burned. My skin was massively sensitized to the point where even water was burning it and stinging it. I’m pretty sure one of the contributing factors was the heater drying out and damaging my skin. I think my skin barrier is kind of messed up now so I’m trying to moisturize more and heat less.
Now I’m wondering about those red light mats that people are laying on will do the same thing! People have said that they lull them to sleep!
This was so informative! Thank you Dr!
Hi Dr. Dray! ❤
Morning!
What about time spent in infrared saunas and the infrared lights often included in red light therapy madks and stand alone light panels?
Thank you for everything dr dray 😅 xx
Yikes! Good to know! Will not be doing that.
Interesting… You know, I’ve used a heated mask over my eyes for the treatment of dry eyes and styes (though the styes are rare for me). I don’t use it often, (OK, mainly because of laziness), but also because I tend to get eyelid eczema, especially in the winter. I don’t want the skin around my eyes to get any drier and more irritated. I know now to limit its use unless absolutely necessary. Thank you so much, Dr. Dray! 😎
Happy Thursday Dr Dray…see you tomorrow x💙🤩
I've learned SO much from you. ❤
Hi dear Dr Dray 👋 happy holidays ❤🎉
Same to you!
Now I’m freaked out about using my infrared pad - though I dont use it at a high setting. But what about infrared saunas and why doesnt this seem to be an issue in regular saunas? I am assuming it’s not an issue in regular saunas since they have been used for hundreds of years and never heard of this?
Thank you so much Dr.Dray, your information is very helpful!..
I stayed in an unheated stone building for ten weeks. I turned on the electric blanket for an hour before bed, then turned it off when I got in. It was sufficient cause I didn’t loose any heat having to warm up the bed with my body heat.
Yikes didn't know that heating pads/blanket can cause that damage
wow! thanks for this warning
Good morning 😊
Same to you
This happened to me when I had Acute Cholecystitis from using hotwater bottles over my upper right side, I was in so much pain from my infected gallbladder I didn't realise the hotwater bottles were scalding my skin. It did resolve a few weeks after my surgery but I was worried it wouldn't go away and I am very careful with hot water bottles now and always use a cover!
I’ve learned all my life that the sun is the worst thing for skin😒
Now I tell me cold wether too🤦♀️ come on🤦♀️
Please do a video about Bryan Johnson’s weekly IPL treatments and skin care diet.He’s in the news a lot, spending $2 million per year to be 18-years-old . It would be so interesting to hear your views on the efficacy of these treatments.
Hi Dr Dray, you know you said yesterday about not opening a product until you're ready st start using it if it says, for example, valid for 6M from opening - well how long can you keep unopened products sat in a drawer for? 1 year? 2 years? Thanks!
it depends on the product expiration date...most things are good within 3 years if unopened
@@DrDrayzday oh fab great to know- I'll stock up when things are on sale then! :D
This always happens to me when I snuggle up to a hot water bottle
