Toasted skin syndrome is characterized as localized areas of reticulated (net-like) reddness and dark pigmentation due to chronic and repeated exposure to infrared radiation. Main cause is repeated exposures to heat at a lower level than that which causes a thermal burn. Other terms used to describe toasted skin syndrome include erythema ab igne, ephelis ignealis, erythema ab calore and fire stains.
