Doctors should pay attention to a new disorder allergic skin caused by mobile phones, according to the British Association of Dermatologists.

A new phenomenon called “dermatitis by mobile phone” has been discovered, through which the people who spend long periods of time talking to your mobile phone develop an allergic reaction, motivated by the nickel in the telephone and the skin contact.

The problem was identified in several reports of cases reported in patients with unexplained rashes in the face and the ear, an investigation revealed that the reaction was caused by the nickel, which comprises the mobile telephone terminals, which often found on the deck or the buttons and in particular in the models more modern.

Now, the British Association of Dermatologists warns doctors to be aware of this new allergy, which believes is increasing, because the condition has recently been identified, many cases have not been denounced or have not been treaties, which led to the scientists to share its findings.

The nickel allergy is the most common of contact allergies in the United Kingdom and is believed that affects 30 percent of the population, with an increased incidence.

Women have a greater risk of developing dermatitis by mobile phone, as it is more likely to have been previously sensitized to the metal after an allergic reaction to nickel by the use of jewelry coated metal.

Dr. Graham Lowe, of the British Association of Dermatologists, said: “The allergy is the frequent contact with the skin for articles containing nickel, as the prolonged contact or repetitive of a phone, which contains, is more likely to cause a skin reaction in the people who are allergic, if you had a reaction after the contact with coating of nickel as buckle or jewelry, for example, have a greater risk to react to the telephones of metal”.

The most common forms of CAM include acupuncture, homeopathic medicines, medicinal herbal and yoga, this increase in the use of the various therapies, appears to be based on various factors, but basically in the belief that the CAM is safe, natural and without side effects.

The acupuncture is a part of the Chinese medicine and is used for many chronic diseases, including the allergic rhinitis and asthma. The process involves the insertion of needles in the skin in exact spots in the body, which is supposed to redress the balance of the flows vital”, but from the point of view scientific, studies, on the timely allergies should be stepped up much more.

A study in children, with 3 months of acupuncture treatment and 3 months of follow-up after treatment, showed benefit in children who received the “true” acupuncture, although still needed the same amount of medication for their allergies.

The medicinal products based on plants, based on various supplements of herbs that have been used in the treatment of allergies and asthma, have also showing some benefits and many of the medications used to treat various medical problems are derived from plants and herbs, including the theophylline (always used to treat asthma).

Allergies today represent a problem of pandemic nature or affecting the world’s population by all the factors that surround the modern life, so shift of chemicals and technologies, which affect our immune system, deriving in this type of pathologies.

Now scientists have found that the spinal nerves transmitting the signal of relief to the brain in monkeys, a possible step toward the search for new treatments for the persistent itching of the people.

A relief from the itching to level nervous, can help in the treatment, because more than 50 conditions can cause severe itching, including AIDS, Hodgkin’s disease and side effects of treatment of chronic pain, said Glenn J. Giesler, Jr. , a neuroscientist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Scratching can lead to severe skin infections and damage in people with chronic itching, therefore, the scientists want to find the way for these people can alleviate their anguish “without tear the skin,” he said.

While the medicines can alleviate some types of itching, the other cases resize current treatments.

Everyone knows what scratching it relieves itching, but in the study on monkeys funded by the federal government, reported to the journal Nature Neuroscience by Giesler and colleagues, gives a step to discover the mystery.

Perhaps the scientists can now identify the signals that tell them to these nerves to provide relief as the response and then try to imitate the action with drugs or some kind of simulative, he said.

Dr. Gil Yosipovitch at the University of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem that did not participate in the study, said that this work shows that the brain circuits individuals also play a role in the manner in which scratching relieves itching.

It called for a new study “very important” and said that the theme is open to new research on the nervous system and itching.

Each year, millions of us regret of our allergies, sneezing and wheezing, for the season of hay fever, as well as flee all cats we see or take great care with the consumption of peanuts.

The majority of those who suffer from allergies, are common as the pollen in the spring, but there are some that are truly rare, for example:

Hives solar
By which not only the vampires, goths and the geeks are the ones who have to avoid the sun appear, as some people are allergic to the sunlight, and a small percentage of the population can cause hives and itching, even through solar protection and light clothes.

Hives Aquagenica
For some people, the mere act of taking a shower them represents a danger, in mild cases contact with the water can be handled with a steady diet of antihistamines, but there have been cases in which even a high percentage of ambient humidity, as a day with fog can cause rashes and blisters, to those affected by this strange allergy.

Hives cholinergic
For some people is not the chemistry of water that provokes allergy, but the chemicals secreted over their own bodies, the sweat. Exactly the reason why it produces the skin rash, hives, not yet known.

Hives induced by cold
The majority of allergies are produced by the physical elements, but there are a handful that are reactions to the environmental conditions, including the cold, so the suffering of this strange ailment should combat cold in a way that will become more resistant and for most of those who suffer from this allergy, the swimming is extremely dangerous, because it lowers the temperature of the entire body to the point that brings in the anaphylaxis.
