Fiddler's neck

Am J Contact Dermat. 1997 Mar;8(1):39-42. doi: 10.1016/s1046-199x(97)90035-x.

Abstract

The dermatologic pathological condition of musicians is a rare medical problem. We would like to draw attention to what is called "Fiddler's neck," a process that is peculiar to violin, viola, or cello players and that may be caused by two different mechanisms: contact allergic reaction or a mechanical action.
