Patches on Skin due to fan heater? [Picture]

Scroll to see replies

My gf's from Malaysia, she has a fan heater directed at her from under a desk too. I think she has a similar problem, I wonder if this is what's causing it.... how very random.

I'm joking. Judging from the patches and referencing my nonexistent medical knowledge, I'd say it's probably something to do with your capillaries dilating from the focused heat and somehow resulting into what you see now. I don’t know how but I do know I know jack schiesse so ignore me.

lol. thank you though, it does seem like the heat like.. i don't know. burst my blood cells or something. -.- I guess I need protein now to rebuild my cells.

Ayyy what a coincidence :smile:

) Guess we can't live without the heat :P but ya, I definitely know the patches are from the excessive heating. But like what the other TSR-ians said, to moisturise so she should give it a try :smile:

) Lol exactly, it is random :P

I very much doubt your blood cells burst. :p:

If you really want to get to the bottom of this, visit your G.P. But say it's a weird rash or something to get an appointment. I have to invent some mad symtpoms similar to the black plague just to even get an apoointment at my local G.P.

Lol didn't your ankles feel hot as you were excessivley heating them :P or are you immune to temperature :smile:

. You just need to put your fan heater somewhere not directally pointing at you. :P

LOL. It actually does feel hot. But I don't know.. For me, I rather feel burning than freezing. I don't mind the cold, it's just that when I'm in my room, I like to feel super warm. Lol.

Thing is, it HAS to be pointed at my feet cuz it warms up my feet then my body feels warm. hahahha :P owel, i know better now than to use it like that :wink:

haha. well my imagination does stray, and it does seem that way :tongue:

LOL. nice one. Ya, if it really doesn't go away after the moisturising I'll make up some excuse. :tongue:

I'd give it around end of June - afterall I did use the fan heater continuously for months so I won't expect it to have a miraculous disappearance.

Thanks for the advice. :wink:

Lol yeah you learn something new everyday, like I realised that sometimes a table can have an artficial leg when living in a student house, lol the leg just came off. Maybe you want to invest in a pair of socks :biggrin:

:P lol.

Oh! I've got patches on exactly my ankle and behind my legs/thighs too. Still using my fan :colondollar:

This wasn't a helpful post. But if you die OP, I'll die too. No worries.

Nope I don't have a strange ankle fetish. Oh well at least that's good to know :yep:

Maybe rub aloe vera gel over it? Usually cures sunburn (among other things), and it'll probably get rid of the redness. Probably should go to a GP though.

Obviously the obvious thing would be to stop using the fan and see if the redness goes away. Did you place the fan heater near your leg? If so, perhaps trying to move it to a different place?

haha. you should use a glue gun, i think they're stronger than super glue? :tongue:

ya, I've bought them aloe vera gel (vaseline) and bio-oil. Don't use much of the fan heater now, and I do see a reduction in the obviousness of the marks. :smile:
