I had a heating pad on my abdomen unfortunately i fell asleep and i had it over my abdomen for one hour. abdomen was red but it went away. concerned internal damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The abdomen has generous blood flow which regulates/controls local organ temperature. I cannot see how the external heat source you mention would have any effect on the deep abdominal structures.
