Apple Watch Sensor burns

Recently purchased a cellular Apple Watch series 7 and after a few week of wearing I'm noticing that my wrist is red and begin to burn and blister on the skin where the sensor part sits, no marks where the strap is in contact. Is this a known problem and any solutions?

I've had an Apple Watch since 2018 and today was the first time that I noticed a burn mark on my wrist.

I have the Apple Watch Ultra and use it every day (day and night) and never had issues.

I'm very concerned about this since I wear it all day long and use it to train and keep track of different things.

Stop wearing the watch and contact your doctor.
