If you have a weird rash on your back or lap – it could be TSS!


If you have heated seats in your car – check your backside... 

You might have a skin condition called Toasted Skin Syndrome. It’s real – and doctors say most people that have it don’t even know it’s there. TSS is caused by prolonged exposure to a warm temperature. If you use your heated seats on long trips without turning them off – you’re at risk. Doctors say the lower back and butt are vulnerable to TSS. The heat isn’t hot enough to cause a burn – but it can cause enough damage to leave you with permanently tinted skin back there.

Dermatology expert Dr. Caleb Crestwell says computers and heating pads can leave you with Toasted Skin Syndrome too. The lap is another vulnerable spot if you rest your hot laptop there for any extended period of time.
