Mobile phone dermatitis: rash from mobile phone use

Doctors warn mobile users of the possibility of getting "mobile phone dermatitis", a rash on people's ears or cheeks caused by too much mobile phone use.

The British Association of Dermatologists said that people who are allergic to the nickel surface on mobile phones after spending long periods of time on the devices, would most likely get the red or itchy rash.

The British group said many doctors were unaware mobile phones could cause the condition.

Nickel is a metal found in products, ranging from mobile phones to jewelry to belt buckles and is one of the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis, according to the Mayo Clinic in the United States.
