Welcome!

I have carefully gone through your moms health worries and I want to tell you that this kind of sauna belts are not at all good for skin especially some people are more prone to allergy and burning skin condition if they use such belts.

This belt entraps the heat generated by the body and they claim that the heat entraped will burn the fat. It is all illogical and no results will be shown even after use of months. There is no alternative to exercise and jogging. Ask your mother to go for a walk 45 minutes daily 3-4 times a week and she will get benefit from that more than this belt.

This redness is due to sweating entrapped and causing an itching to the skin. Also heat entrapped here in the area causes redness.

It will all go away once she doesn't use the belt anymore. If it persists tell her to apply Eucerin Eczema Relief available over the counter.

Hope it helps. In future for any help, write down my name in start of your question and I will get back to you in no time. Have a nice time ahead.

Regards!
