    First and foremost, placing a laptop directly on your legs for a prolonged time can is not advisable. Dermatologists say that the long-lasting placement of a laptop on the thighs may result in a thermal build of about 44 degrees of heat which can cause redness and pigmentation on the skin.

    If you are sure that the rash/numbness is due to the excessive use of the laptop, you can do the following three things:

    1. Have a proper home workspace to sit comfortably without keeping the laptop on your lap. You can use a study table or bed table for the same.
    2. Take a break every 45 mins. to give your body rest from the constant stress of machines
    3. You can also use ayurvedic remedies like aloe vera gel. Also, non-prescription soothing cold cream/Jelly available at local pharmacies can be used on the infected areas. If at any point, the numbness/rashes cause pain, blisters on the skin, immediately seek the help of a medical professional.
