[|Human|] Yes pls.answer. Fell  asleep on my supposedly auto shut heating pad last night.. Liner/foam  must have slipped out and I am left with 2 approx 1 inch welts and burn on hip. Will try cold compresses..Also have bag of frozen peas in freezer that I use to ice my very achy back. Dont have aloe or rice. Im a 70 yr old snow  flake in sunny fla. In a rental thats not very equipped.. Also instructions on heating pad say DO NOT USE if you have any benign tumors.Well after having  my last MRI for back.. Tech discovered a lesion on my rt kidney and a small cyst on liver. Had a follow up ultra sound and was told not to worry.. Just have another in a yr.. Im due fir that in apr. when I return. My GP seems to think its not even necessary but I am of course ignoring his advice.. Name of lesion starts with an A.. Cant remember now since Ive only slept approx. 3 hrs . How soon will I hear back from you??
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. A liver cyst is deep-seated and will not be affected by using a heat pad. The pain in your back is probably from degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, and you might have bulging discs causing pinching of nerves. The heating pad is not intended for direct use by keeping it on any tumor over the skin. You slept on it in error and suffered mild burns. This can be taken care of by applying an antiseptic ointment and will heal in a week. It is better to get a review scan done later than planned to know any increase in size of the kidney lesion and liver cyst. Please do not worry.
