Smartphone and intelligent mobile phones are the hottest items in the market. Manufacturers are even scrambling to get a fair share of the market. Mobile phones are a necessity in this modern time. I even have friends that have more than one mobile phone. Innovators are even cramping up more power into the small gadget to make it do almost everything from calling to watching videos to browsing the Internet.

There is a growing observation from medical experts in dermatology that too much use of mobile phones could lead to some form of skin allergy. This is based on unexplained rashes on people’s ears or cheeks. The British Association of Dermatologists has coined the term “mobile phone dermatitis” to describe this unusual rash on the ear or cheek. On the other hand, there are people who don’t sleep overnight trying to discover the settings and other detailed capability of their new smartphone or mobile phone. It would not be a surprise if they end up having an acne treatment for over using a smartphone.

This reminds me of the study of brain cancer in relation with mobile phone use; although there’s no solid evidence on this. Theoretically the skin allergy could be a result of contact with allergy causing metal Nickel which is commonly found in mobiles. If you observe such kind of symptoms better have yourself checked by a doctor. Too much of everything is not good. Over usage of smartphone and mobile phone could pose some health risk.
