Most of the working people keep laptop on their lap. They might be think about it. According to medical reports an abnormal-looking mottled skin condition caused bylong-term heat exposure of laptop using. Name of that skin condition is “toasted skin syndrome”. So don’t keep your laptop on your lap more than 15 minutes.
Some of the skin problems can cause by using laptop. That’s why many specialists give a lot of advice to us. But we never bother about that when we also affected by these type of skin disease. Always prevention is better than cure. So try to avoid this habit. Here given some of the cases for an example.
1. One recent case, a 12 year old boy affected in skin disease because of using laptop. He was playing computer games a few hours every day for several months and developed a sponge-patterned skin discoloration on his left thigh. When he playing computer games. He always keeps the laptop on left side lap. In spite of that, he did not change its position. By the journal Pediatrics, Swiss researchers reported in an article published about it.
2. Another case is also like previous case. A law student takes treatment for the mottled discoloration on her leg. He went to the hospital for treatment in that time Dr. Kimberley Salkey was get confused until she learned about it.
Most of student spent for about six hours a day working with computer propped on his lap. The laptop temperature is underneath registered 125 degrees Fahrenheit. One of 10 laptop-related cases reported in medical journals in the last six years.
3. By overuse of heating pads can cause this condition and other heat causes that typically aren't hot enough to cause burns. It's generally harmless to us. But it can cause permanent skin darkening on your lap.
4. Some of time it can cause damage leading to skin cancers. But it is very rare cases. It is said by the Swiss researchers, Drs. Andreas Arnold and Peter from University Hospital Basel. Until now they didn’t mention any skin cancer cases linked to laptop use, but suggest, to be safe, placing a carrying case under the laptop if you have to hold it in your lap.
5. Most of the companies have given warn to user. Including Apple, Hewlett Packard and Dell warn in user manuals besides placing laptops on laps for longer periods of time because of the risk for burns.
6. More than a few years ago a medical report found that one who used laptops on their laps had make higher scrotum temperatures. After a long period of time, that kind of temperature can increase sperm production, which can potentially lead to infertility. That kind of harm can cause not only laptop and now itself it is not confirmed.
7. These type of problem has occurred in heat related workers only. That is whose jobs require being close to a heat source, including bakers and glass blowers, and, before central heating, in people who huddled near potbellied heaters to stay warm.
