AB A  47-year-old  woman  with  chronic  low  back  pain  presents  with  a  chief  complaint  of  a  persistent  rash  along  her  posterior  trunk.  The  discoloration  has  slowly  progressed  over  the  last  year  and  does  not  fluctuate  in  response  to  hot  or  cold  temperatures.  She  has  no  history  of  vasospastic  disease.  On  examination  an  irregular  reticular  fixed  brownish  discoloration  overlies  her  entire  back.  She  admits  to  sleeping  on  a  heating  pad  for  the  last  3  years  due  to  her  unremitting  back  pain.  A  diagnosis  of  erythema  ab  igne  (EAI)  or  "toasted  skin  syndrome"  is  rendered  (Figure  90-1).
