Do you have unexplained rash in your body? The culprit could be your iPad. Recent reports from medical journals detail nikel alergies from a variety of personal electronic devices, like your notebooks and mobile phones. But it was an Apple iPad that caused a rash on a 11-year-old boy who was treated at a San Diego hospital, according to a report in Monday’s Paediatrics.

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.

The boy had a common skin condition that causes scaly patches, but he developed a different rash all over his body that didn’t respond to usual treatment. Skin testing showed he had a nickel allergy, and doctors traced it to an iPad his family had bought in 2010.Whether all iPad models and other Apple devices contain nickel is uncertain; Apple spokesman Chris Gaither said the company had no comment.
