How your cell phone can be giving you a rash! – Allergic contact dermatitis is an epidemic

What you need to know about allergic contact dermatitis, especially to nickel.

It’s ok.

We can all admit it.

We’ve all had that moment of panic when we leave the house and realize we haven’t brought our cell phone with us. I’d be pressed to think of another device that we hold in such high regard, as these mobile brain power machines, that consume our attention ad nauseam. With such firm attachments to our hearts, it’s hard to fathom that such a glorious machine could cause us harm. How can this happen?!?!?!

Certain metals, nickel being the main culprit, is to blame for giving many a rash just from using their cell phones…

Here at Dermatitis Academy, we are striving to improve awareness of the growing problem of nickel allergic contact dermatitis, as well as other causes of rashes that you can prevent just by avoiding certain things called “sensitizers” and getting tested for your susceptibility to becoming a victim of this growing epidemic.
