Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Erythema ab igne is a vasclar response of skin to heat.
You can apply mild steroid cream.
This will give you some relief.
Best approach is to avoid exposure to heat.
Also apply ice on the affected area.
This will be helpful.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
