What is Toasted-skin Syndrome?

Be careful how you use your laptop. You could get "toasted-skin syndrome"! People who place their laptops directly on the lap have developed a brown, mottled rash on their thighs. The heat from the computer actually causes an injury to the skin. Use a pillow or laptop case between the computer and your lap. The skin damage is temporary and will heal as long as the exposure is stopped.
