“…Nickel is one of the more common allergens responsible for allergic CD induced by laptop computers, computer mouse, Xbox controller, mobile phones and iPad use in both adults and children [ [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] ]. The presence of nickel using the DMG (dimethylgloxime) and ammonium hydroxide spot test has been demonstrated in the metallic parts of the surfaces of these devices [ 21 , 23 , 28 ].…”

“…Although the maximum concentration of nickel content in products with prolonged contact with the skin has been prohibited by law in a large number of countries during the past decades [ 23 , 29 , 30 ], it is speculated that moist and warm conditions as well as sweating of the hands, may accelerate the occurrence of CD, especially by intensifying the penetration of allergens into the skin. The latter is further supported by the fact that, in most cases, withdrawal from the gaming activity results in substantial clinical improvement while patch testing is positive for sensitization to nickel [ 27 ].…”

“…The same applies for a number of cases highlighting the allergenic potency in gamers of diethyl phthalate and dimethyl phthalate, chemicals that are present in the plastics [ 31 ], Resorcinol monobenzoate [ 32 ], cobalt [ 23 ], chromium [ 33 , 34 ], zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate, 2,6-di- tert -butyl-4-cresol, diphenylthiourea [ 35 ], glue series [ 36 ], e.t.c. Other allergic contact dermatitis cases lacking identification of the offending agents include Sony PlayStation One, PSP3, X-Box 360 and GameBoy use [ [37] , [38] , [39] ].…”

Background Following the inception of video games and the subsequent development of progressive innovations in videogame technology, many reports of videogame-related dermatologic conditions soon emerged in literature. Children and adolescents, in particular, are among the most avid consumers of online digital entertainment. Methods In an effort to better detail the impacts of these cutaneous manifestations and provide recommendations for injury prevention as it relates to video games, we performed an extensive systems-based literature review pertaining to the clinical features, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of reported cases of dermatoses resulting from the misuse of video games. Results A literature review using PubMed, SCOPUS, Ovid MEDLINE and EMBASE was performed. Hardware implicated in the reported cases include video games consoles, personal computers, laptop computers, mobile phones and tablets. The dermatologic conditions are primarily localized to the extremities, particularly the palms and fingers. The majority are associated with repetitive friction and trauma, as well as allergic contact sensitivities. For all cutaneous manifestations induced by video gaming, early recognition and removal of the offending agent was most often described as effective in symptom resolution. Conclusions The universal use and pervasive popularity of video games for recreational purposes present an emerging dermatological concern. As videogames become increasingly advanced and immersive, various cutaneous conditions arising from intensive gaming will likely become common over time. Consequently, it is critical that dermatologists consider video games with a high index of suspicion when encountering dermatological ailments in underage patients engaging in persistent gaming behavior.
