Alienware, rubber, allergic reactions?

Are there any documented cases where the rubber like material Alienware uses for their laptops cause a skin reaction?

    alright, well since no one seems to know, I guess i can start now, I have one these reactions on my left forearm, the skins was yellow for a while initially, now it's subsided, but the area has changed, there's small skin bumps and the texture has changed, it feels more dry than normal skin. As far as I can tell the change is permanent now, sort of like a scar. The reason? well i got nothing else to go on other than the area is in contact with the left edge of my alienware laptop. Is it the laptop? I think so.

    Why is not on the right side too? i have always used a mouse so the right forearm is not in contact with the laptop, the wrist is rubbing against the edge of a desk, but that sort of stress made no changes to skin.

    Isn't the laptop warm in use? Isn't it due to temperature stress? Previously I had an Inspiron N5110 laptop also from Dell, now that machine was HOT, and likewise my left hand was resting on the laptops left side, but no, no changes or negative impact from that interaction.

    Aren't you also interacting with other substances at work or anywhere else that can cause this sort of reaction? I did chemistry labs, but there's safety protocols and tools for staying safe at my disposal, I also never spilled anything on myself ever, so that can't be it.
