Treatment of golfer's vasculitis includes avoiding triggers, such as excessive standing. Treatment of symptoms like itching, burning, and inflammation may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, antihistamines, or aspirin. [13] However, most cases of golfer's vasculitis resolve on their own over about 3 to 4 days without any ...
Erythema ab igne (Latin for 'redness from fire') EAI, also known as hot water bottle rash, [2] is a skin condition caused by long-term exposure to heat (infrared radiation). [3] Prolonged thermal radiation exposure to the skin can lead to the development of reticulated erythema , hyperpigmentation , scaling, and telangiectasias in the affected ...
Superficial thrombophlebitis is a thrombosis and inflammation of superficial veins presenting as a painful induration (thickening) with erythema, often in a linear or branching configuration with a cordlike appearance. [2]: 826–7 [3] Superficial thrombophlebitis is due to inflammation and/or thrombosis, and,less commonly, infection of the vein.
After 1–3 weeks burn symptoms appear; erythema, increased skin pigmentation (dark colored patches and raised areas), followed by epilation and skin lesions. Erythema occurs after 5–15 Gy, dry desquamation after 17 Gy, and bullous epidermitis after 72 Gy. [15] Chronic radiation keratosis may develop after higher doses. Primary erythema ...
Standing for prolonged periods can lead to certain cardiovascular disorders. In a study by Krause et al. (2000) [7] the authors examined the relationship between standing at work and the progression of carotid atherosclerosis in men. Standing for long periods can change the distribution of blood in the extremities.

The pathophysiology is not yet well understood. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is proposed to be the underlying cause resulting in reactive lymphedema. [2] Prolonged standing with full knee extension and minimal movement for a prolonged period of time is postulated to induce a temporary failure in pumping the venous and lymphatic systems in the calf region leading to acute gravity-dependent ...
