What Causes Band Of Irregular Bruising Around The Waist?
Hi, I am having some really bad back spasms in my lower back. I have some disk damage and I am scheduled for an MRI. In the meantime, I have been using a heating pad to ease the pain. I have developed a band of irregular bursing around my waist area. Could the heating pad do that, or should I be concerned about another cause?

this is because of heat injury to the skin called as erythema ab igne
just avoidance of heat exposure and emmollient application reduces your bruise
thank you
