Mobile phones are causing a new allergic skin disorder, doctors are warning.

    The condition is caused by a reaction to nickel, which is often found in the casing and buttons of flashy handsets.

    And experts who are seeing rising numbers of patients with rashes on their faces and ears - and even their fingers from texting - have dubbed it "mobile phone dermatitis".

    The British Association of Dermatologists says: "If you have had a previous reaction to a nickel-coated belt buckle or jewellery, for example, you are at greater risk of reacting to metal phones."

    醫(yī)生提醒我們手機現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)導致一種新的皮膚問題。

    這種狀況的發(fā)生就是因為一些華麗的手機聽筒包裝以及電池上所包含鎳元素。

    這種皮炎的病人日漸增多，主要表現(xiàn)在臉上，耳朵，以及發(fā)短信的手指上。專家稱這種皮膚病為“手機過敏性皮炎”。

    美國皮膚協(xié)會專家說“如果你先前就對鍍鎳的帶扣或者珠寶首飾過敏的話，那么你就非常有可能患上這種皮膚病。”
