High temperatures applied directly on the skin surface for a sufficient amount of time cause thermal burns. Similar damage in skin can be induced by ionising and solar irradiation. Protective measures could prevent both of them. Contact with high temperature for a long period of time provokes livedo (erythema ab igne). Low or freezing temperatures cause frostbites. Exposition to lower temperatures for a long period of time induces perniones.

Keywords: burns, sunburn, frostbite, pernio.
