Mobile phones proven to cause new skin disorder

Mobile phones proven to cause new skin disorder:

"The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) has issued an alert for Doctors to be aware of a new skin rash caused by long periods of mobile phone use.

In the warning the BAD links what is called ‘mobile phone dermatitis’ to an allergic reaction of the phone’s nickel surface. The rash typically occurs on the cheek or ear.

Doctors are being warned to be aware of the allergy, which is thought to be on the increase. Because the condition has only newly been identified, many cases may go unreported or untreated, which has prompted the scientists to share their findings."
