I think erythema ab igne appeared on breast after using heating pad on chest but went away. does this mean i can't use heat on my chest any more?

Not for long.: Using heating pads too long and too often can cause chronic skin changes, including darkening of skin in a reticulated (mottled) pattern for anyone. Use heating pads for 30 minutes at a time max, and wait at least an hour before using it again.
