Got a Rash? iPad, Other Devices Might be the Cause

Check your iPad. Recent reports in medical journals detail nickel allergies from a variety of personal electronic devices, including laptops and cellphones. Nickel rashes aren’t life-threatening but they can be very uncomfortable, and they may require treatment with steroids and antibiotics if the skin eruptions become infected, said Dr. Sharon Jacob, a dermatologist at Rady Children’s Hospital, where the boy was treated. Skin testing showed he had a nickel allergy, and doctors traced it to an iPad his family had bought in 2010.
