It's Not Lupus.
BBC:
A new skin disorder caused by use of games consoles has been identified by skin specialists.
The condition, dubbed PlayStation palmar hidradenitis, is described in the British Journal of Dermatology.
Researchers outline the case of a 12-year-old girl who attended a Swiss hospital with intensely painful sores on the palms of her hands.
The girl, who had been using a games console regularly, recovered fully after 10 days of abstinence.
Doctors who examined her at the Geneva University Hospital concluded she had a condition known as 'idiopathic eccrine hidradenitis', a skin disorder that generally causes red, sore lumps on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
The condition has been previously found on the soles of the feet in children taking part in heavy physical activity, such as jogging.
It is thought to be linked to intense sweating.
