Apply Watch Sensor Burn

As KiltedTim said, see your doctor. Show the doctor exactly how you wear your watch.

Your photo perplexes me. The marking that you identify as a burn is off center and looks higher up on the arm than most people wear their watches. I am just telling you what I see, not passing judgement on anything that you may be claiming. But it is important to for you to bring all the relevant information to a medical professional. I don't think that readers of this forum are qualified to address your medical issue.

If I were you, I would also stop using that watch and have it tested and evaluated by Apple, to be safe.

It’s happened often enough the multiple physicians have posted videos on YouTube about it. Here’s a short 30 second one.

Please make an appointment with your primary care physician and get a diagnosis of your condition. Your Dr. may refer you to an allergist or dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. 

Probably the most common reason is an allergic reaction to nickel. Nickel is used in the hardening process of stainless steel, aluminum and sapphire crystal.

>>In fact, it is estimated that more than 18 percent of people in North America are allergic to nickel, including 11 million children in the U.S.<<

A visit to an allergist or dermatologist will get it cleared up. They may recommend you reduce contact, use a cover etc. Please let us know what the diagnosis is. 😀

Stop wearing it and go see your doctor.

There are lots of things that can cause something like that. We can't give you medical advice.

You will never get any sort og response from apple by posting here

these forums are user helping other users like yourself, it's sort of going to a physical apple store and asking other customers their advice

This is a user helping users with tech questions forum, we are not apple and apple do not read your posts here

so if you have no already then I would advice you to

reach out to their official support channels

Search - Apple Community

as it seems most of the ones which posted about it, did not stick around here to answer other posts.

It goes to show that, no one should ever follow medical advice from random internet strangers, where one can only assume few to non being medical trained.

Where I live, there are plants which has juices that work as anti-sunscreen; if one were exposed to such fluids, the light under the watch could cause problems, maybe, and maybe some people are more sensitive from birth. But again, never take medical advice from random people on the internet.
