This is totally unrelated to a rash that people will get from the rubber band on the watch. this is an actual second degree burn from where the little green lights are on my fitbit blaze. I didn't even notice I had it until I took it off to charge it one day and my skin had this bubble. my fitbit has not been acting strange lately and there are no defects visible. I work outside a lot and my arm does get sweaty could this be a cause?

Welcome to the Community @laurenr023. I am sorry to hear you experienced some discomfort with your Fitbit Blaze. You might want to make sure that your wristband doesn't feel too tight and that it's snuggled enough for it to be comfortable to wear. Not too tight but not too floppy. However, I recommend taking it off and read our Wear and Care article.
See you around.

Would it be a chemical burn or a burn caused by overheating.
The LEDs thrmself dont put out any ultraviolet waves, and in theory cant give a sunburn.

I actually got burned by my blaze as well. I was in Bangkok, and didn't realise at first. I thought i had just been bitten but only saw it was a burn when I looked at my screen and it showed that the fitbit needed charging, something i didnt expect as i had charged it the night before. When i attempted to charge it later that evening it kept showing a thermometer symbol and the charge was not holding. I have since returned it. So i dont think yours is an isolated case.
