Are children more vulnerable?

Children's skin can be more delicate and sensitive than adult skin, making them potentially more susceptible to heat-induced rashes like 'toasted skin syndrome'. Their habits, such as spending long hours with devices directly on their bodies, also increase their exposure risk. Early diagnosis, as highlighted in the story, is key to preventing further issues and ensuring the rash clears up quickly.
