Millipedes often are regarded as harmless but are capable of causing adverse reactions through the secretion of toxic chemicals. Millipede burns cause localized pigmentary changes that may be associated with pain or burning in some patients. Clinical suspicion and physical examination are paramount to the diagnosis of millipede burns.
