What are skin reactions?

Skin reactions are the body's way of responding to irritants or changes, often manifesting as rashes, redness, or discolouration. 'Toasted skin syndrome' is one specific type, caused by heat. Other common reactions include allergic rashes, hives, or irritation from chemicals. Identifying the cause, like the laptop in this story, is crucial for effective treatment and preventing recurrence.
