Mobile Allergy

If you get a rash near your ear or jaw – you could be allergic to your cell phone!

Almost half of all cell phones contain nickel – and a lot of people are allergic to nickel. Skin irritations and rashes are pretty common after prolonged exposure to it, that’s why some people can’t wear jewelry or watches containing nickel. According to the British Association of Dermatologists, there has been a surge in facial rashes - especially near the ear and jaw – due to exposure to nickel in cell phones.

If you are allergic to nickel and are stuck with your phone – using a phone cover should help. Also try to use the hands free or speaker option as often as you can.
