'Toasted skin syndrome' alert issued

People who work with a laptop computer sitting on their lap might want to rethink that habit. Doing it a lot can lead to "toasted skin syndrome," an unusual-looking mottled skin condition caused by long-term heat exposure, according to medical reports. In one recent case, a 12 -year-old boy developed a sponge-patterned skin discoloration on his left thigh after playing computer games a few hours every day for several months. The case is one of 10 laptop-related cases reported to medical journals in the last 6 years. (AP)
