  • Title: Is the skin affected by work at visual display terminals?
    Author: Wahlberg JE, Lidén C.
    Journal: Dermatol Clin; 1988 Jan; 6(1):81-5. PubMed ID: 2968218.
    Abstract:
    According to some reports, mainly from Norway and Sweden, visual display terminal work is suspected of causing skin rashes. In three different studies, we have tried to elucidate the question, and the results indicate that there might be a relation between VDT work and aggravation of some common skin diseases such as rosacea, seborrheic and atopic dermatitis, and acne. Whether this depends on physical, chemical, or psychological factors is still unknown.
