Techniques are described for detecting erythema caused by wearable devices. In various embodiments, a wearable device may include light source(s) to emit light at multiple wavelengths; light sensor(s) to receive light reflected from tissue of an individual that wears the wearable device; and logic configured to: operate the light source(s) to emit light at multiple wavelengths; receive a signal generated by the light sensor(s), wherein the signal is generated by the light sensor(s) in response to detection of light reflected from the tissue; analyze the signal to determine a first metric from a first wavelength of the light reflected from a first depth of the tissue and a second metric from a second wavelength of the light reflected from a second depth of the tissue; identify a correlation between the first and second metrics; and provide output indicative of tissue erythema based on the correlation.
