Following the inception of video games and the subsequent development of progressive innovations in videogame technology, many reports of videogame-related dermatologic conditions soon emerged in literature. Children and adolescents, in particular, are among the most avid consumers of online digital entertainment.
In an effort to better detail the impacts of these cutaneous manifestations and provide recommendations for injury prevention as it relates to video games, we performed an extensive systems-based literature review pertaining to the clinical features, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of reported cases of dermatoses resulting from the misuse of video games.
A literature review using PubMed, SCOPUS, Ovid MEDLINE and EMBASE was performed. Hardware implicated in the reported cases include video games consoles, personal computers, laptop computers, mobile phones and tablets. The dermatologic conditions are primarily localized to the extremities, particularly the palms and fingers. The majority are associated with repetitive friction and trauma, as well as allergic contact sensitivities. For all cutaneous manifestations induced by video gaming, early recognition and removal of the offending agent was most often described as effective in symptom resolution.
The universal use and pervasive popularity of video games for recreational purposes present an emerging dermatological concern. As videogames become increasingly advanced and immersive, various cutaneous conditions arising from intensive gaming will likely become common over time. Consequently, it is critical that dermatologists consider video games with a high index of suspicion when encountering dermatological ailments in underage patients engaging in persistent gaming behavior.
随着电子游戏的诞生以及随后电子游戏技术的不断创新发展，文献中很快出现了许多与电子游戏相关的皮肤病报告。尤其是儿童和青少年，是在线数字娱乐的最狂热消费者。
为了更详细地阐述这些皮肤表现的影响，并针对与电子游戏相关的伤害预防提供建议，我们对已报道的因滥用电子游戏导致的皮肤病病例的临床特征、病因、诊断和治疗进行了广泛的基于系统的文献综述。
我们使用PubMed、SCOPUS、Ovid MEDLINE和EMBASE进行了文献综述。报告病例中涉及的硬件包括电子游戏机、个人电脑、笔记本电脑、手机和平板电脑。皮肤病主要局限于四肢，尤其是手掌和手指。大多数与重复性摩擦和创伤以及过敏性接触敏感性有关。对于所有由电子游戏引起的皮肤表现，早期识别并去除致病因素通常被描述为对症状缓解有效。
电子游戏用于娱乐目的的普遍使用和广泛普及引发了一个新出现的皮肤病学问题。随着电子游戏变得越来越先进和身临其境，随着时间的推移，由高强度游戏引起的各种皮肤状况可能会变得常见。因此，皮肤科医生在遇到有持续游戏行为的未成年患者的皮肤病时，高度怀疑与电子游戏有关是至关重要的。
