چکیده
BACKGROUND Modern-age technology is increasingly implicated in traditional dermatologic conditions. OBJECTIVE This review provides a concise overview of the cutaneous manifestations from modern technology use. METHODS We describe a case of laptop computer-induced erythema ab igne and provide a review of the literature pertaining to the etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of reported cases of dermatoses resulting from the use of modern technology. RESULTS Sources of modern technology implicated in the reported cases include video games, laptop computers, personal computers and accessories, and smart and cellular phones. These presentations have primarily been localized to the extremities, particularly the hands and face. Diagnoses were associated with trauma or repetitive strain, irritant contact dermatitis, or allergic contact sensitivities. Removal of the offending agent was most often described as effective in symptom resolution. CONCLUSION It is important to consider modern-age sources as part of the index of suspicion for diagnosing traditional dermatologic conditions. These manifestations will likely increase over time with the pervasive popularity and use of modern technology. Early recognition of the offending agent will be beneficial in differentiating the etiology for effective management.
