Exposure to ignition or melting of nightwear - what does this mean

Exposure to ignition or melting of nightwear can cause a type of burn injury known as a thermal burn. this type of burn is caused by direct contact with a hot surface, such as an open flame, or by contact with a heated object, such as a heated iron or a hot water bottle. thermal burns can be very severe and can cause permanent scarring and disability.

What happens during the disease - exposure to ignition or melting of nightwear

The pathogenesis of this disease involves direct exposure of the skin to ignition or melting of nightwear. this can cause thermal burns to the skin, leading to damage of the epidermis and dermis. the degree of tissue damage depends on the temperature and duration of exposure, and can range from mild erythema to full-thickness necrosis. in addition, the smoke generated by the burning nightwear can cause airway irritation and damage, leading to respiratory symptoms.
