A doctor has provided 1 answer
Padding: If i understand you right, this is a problem caused by using a laptop computer on your lap.Heat from the computer causes burns to thighs that creates dark discoloration. The healing process can itch very badly.A cooling mat or blanket underneath the laptop would prevent this, or just keep it on a table. Hydrocortisone cream would help reduce discoloration and itching.May need to see dermatologist.

Is ice or steam heat better for the absorption of skincare products? I saw a video of someone rubbing their face with a large block of ice for glowy skin & other. Wouldn't ice restrict the pores and prevent product absorption or am I missing sumthin?
