is it possible to get radiation burns from the monitor?

The skin on my forehead is all red, it begun with a little dot and now it seem to get larger,

it has some flagnation of skin on the red area sometimes I can pull of small pieces of dry skin,

it kinda looks like I have been out in the sun too long.

I am curious what this can be, I wonder if my laptop can radiate making my skin red?

I know old types of monitors had quite high radiation but I tought modern days monitors didnt do that? anyway Im using my laptop everyday in work and I tought it could be the reason, did anyone experience this?

    That sounds allot more like a skin condition that is worsening, your best bet would be to go see a dermatologist. LCD/LED computer monitors do not emit any sort of radiation except for light.

    The discomfort you experienced used to be without doubt as a result of eye-strain from staring at the lighted reveal for a protracted period of time. Your unexpected forgetfulness is extra possible due to fatigue and stress. I doubt you have suffered brain injury, but there are these things you could buy from most computer and/or administrative center give retailers that you would be able to put over your reveal. They block out a variety of hazardous rays that eminate from the pc display and they're additionally tinted which helps prevent eye stress. Keep in mind that you are uncovered to electromagnetic rays from the sun all the time. Electromagnetic rays are basically light. Best a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is visible to us, however.
