Can a keyboard cause skin rashes?

While prolonged repetitive actions with a keyboard may worsen certain underlying skin conditions such as eczema, there are no reports or evidence suggesting keyboards themselves directly cause skin rashes. Using an appropriately designed ergonomic keyboard may alleviate symptoms for sensitive individuals. To mitigate the impact of keyboard on sensitive skin, using a cushioned armrest or wrist pad and taking frequent breaks while working on a computer may prove helpful. Always consult a medical professional regarding potential skin reactions.
