What do you for a skin allergy to a computer mouse?

Answer:
Contact dermatitis can be caused by certain chemical additives added to the plastic from which the mouse is made. In particular resorcinol monobenzoate, has been identified as a skin irritant.

Polymer additives are small moleclues that leach out of the plastic over time and onto the skin.

Stop using the mouse and buy one that (hopefully) doesn't contain these chemicals.
I have this condition and only 1 mouse in 5 has caused the symptoms with me.
