“…Later pigmentation develops [Figure 7], and telangiectasia and atrophy may also ensue. [96] It may occur at any age and affect either sex[97] in whom there is a history of repeatedly or habitually being exposed to heat, as in heating pads, fireplace, laptops,[98] or occupationally as in cooks, goldsmiths, and silversmiths. Histopathology is reminiscent of chronic actinic damage.…”

The term “reticulate” is used for clinical description of skin lesions that are configured in a net-like pattern. Many primary and secondary dermatoses present in such patterns involving specific body sites. Certain cutaneous manifestations of systemic diseases or genodermatoses also present in such manner. This review classifies and describes such conditions with reticulate lesions and briefly, their associated features.

“…Around a dozen of cases were reported until now. The localization on the thighs and asymmetry are assumed to be characteristic [2,[6][7][8][9]. Eai occurs on the frequently exposed sites to topical hydro-and thermotherapies like repeated hot water baths or frequent application of hot water containers to treat chronic pain, e.g.…”

Case of conventional/classic type of Erythema abigne (Eai) as a quiz. The diagnosis is straightforward with satisfying the diagnostic “H triad”: 1) history of cold weather, 2) heat source exposures-prolonged and or frequent, and 3) hyperpigmentation-reticulate dusky erythematous and confined to the exposed sites, then the diagnosis is outstanding, and a 4th H; confirmatory his topathological assay may be avoided. Otherwise, in case of confusion by missing any h of the h triad the 4th H should be seeked. Eai is frequently found in literature as a clinical quiz, but it is in fact not prevalent, though in started recently to report a spike with the advent of global weather changes and modern laptop technology. The different categories of Eai-s depending on the different causes are elaborated here in the paper, and the different complications as well. This quiz case in published as a reminder of Eai, in order to raise the attention of clinicians to this rare transforming dermatosis, as Eai might herald a cancer, or it may potentially evolve to a cancer, hence; it fluctuates between two cancers, thus it worth alarming

“…1 Although few epidemiologic data are available regarding the modern-day incidence of EAI in North America, a number of modern case reports describe EAI with the use of hot water bottles, electric blankets, and laptop computers. 2 With the rise in personal computer use, ''laptop legs'' has come to be a colloquial term for EAI of the anterior thighs. The pathogenesis of EAI involves repeated heat exposures insufficient to cause a burn but that result in transient increases in skin temperatures to 43 to 47uC (109.…”
