General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, sounds to be in relation with cell phone induced skin allergy when exposed to particular frequency waves for a prolong period of time. My guidelines at present:
- Use ear plugs always to avoid external ear skin exposure
- Whenever the above is not feasible, use opposite ear and shorten the duration of talk to minimum minutes
- Local application of aloe vera gel over the skin from time to time
- Control of blood sugar

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
