Delayed, distant skin lesions after transcranial direct current stimulation

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has attracted considerable interest in recent years, especially as a potential intervention in stroke rehabilitation and the treatment of depression.

Here, we report two cases of skin lesions following tDCS.
