LONDON (Reuters) - Gamers beware: Keeping too tight a grip on the console and furiously pushing the buttons can cause a newly identified skin disorder marked by painful lumps on the palms, Swiss scientists said Tuesday.

Called "PlayStation palmar hidradentitis" by the scientists, the skin disorder can cause painful lesions on the palms similar to patches found on the soles of children's feet after taking part in heavy physical activity, they said.

"The tight and continuous grasping of the hand-grips together with repeated pushing of the buttons produce minor but continuous trauma to the (palm) surfaces," Vincent Piguet and colleagues at University Hospitals and Medical School of Geneva reported in the British Journal of Dermatology.

Except for the fact that Wii and Xbox 360 controllers cause the same thing...

Why is this even in system wars. It has NOTHING to do with the battle between current-gen systems. Unless, you are trying to say the PS systems cause this and others don't. But then we'd all have to laugh at you.

LOL yeah, i had friends and family who would do it that way but I developed my technique using just two fingers and a thumb which was superior but still, Mario Party would give a gamers hands and fingers a workout.

That's what I'd assume life would be like with Playstationitis.

"skin disorder" lmao, had a good laugh. Hey, someone alert the press! I was playing golf and got a blister on my hand, I think it's some sort of disease or skin disorder or something, It will probably heal in a day but let's make a big deal out of it and make it sound like a pandemic. It's amazing how low people stoop to try and make video games look bad.
