From the warning given in a study, the group of doctors said: "Red and very itchy acne spots known as the" Cell Phone Dermatitis Syndrome "have affected people. use. These people have been allergic to the nickel coating on the surface of the mobile phone after using this device for a while.

These dermatitis appear mainly in the chin and ears, which are frequently exposed to mobile devices. In theory, these dermatitis may appear in the fingers because this is the most direct contact with the phone.

The research team also said that many dermatologists do not know that mobile phones could be the cause of this situation.

After the study was published, concerns about the safety of mobile devices have spread when today, almost everyone uses this device to communicate daily.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a well-known medical corporation in the US state of Minnesota, the nickel is the main material used to manufacture all kinds of products, including cell phones. And this is the main cause of dermatitis.

Earlier this year, Professor Lionel Bercovitch taught at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island and his colleagues tested 22 of the most popular handsets from 8 different manufacturers and found the Nikel produced in 10 handsets.

According to the advice of these research groups, users should choose for themselves mobile phones not plated with nickel to avoid the risk of migrating dermatitis.
