French term or phrase: échauffement cutané
From the indications on the back of a bandage package. I'm not sure if this is "skin inflammation" or something else. Thanks for any insight!

ampoules du 1er degré (échauffement cutané, rougeur due à un frottement ou le port de chaussures inconfortables), ampoules du 2ème degré (la couche supérieure de l’épiderme se décolle et crée une poche qui se remplit de liquide lymphatique), en prévention sur les zones de frottement.
