Reuters article
LONDON (Reuters) - Doctors baffled by an unexplained rash on people's ears or cheeks should be on alert for a skin allergy caused by too much mobile phone use, the British Association of Dermatologists said on Thursday.
Citing published studies, the group said a red or itchy rash, known as "mobile phone dermatitis," affects people who develop an allergic reaction to the nickel surface on mobile phones after spending long periods of time on the devices.
so, if we're not frying our brains with mobiles, we're irritating our skin!

well, at least we could use handsfree's 
this allergy could happen because of the material the mobile is made also. skin reacts different on everyone.

It's simple, don't buy a phone that as a nickel surface unless it comes with a subscription to a monthly package of good ol' Aquas Cream™

I can just picture all the teenagers on their phones getting even worse skin problems. Oh dear. Saying this though i have spent 3 or more hours on the phone before. When i hung up i went dizzy and have had headaches. Plus side of my face has been hot. Scary. |
