If I use my laptop while it's on my lap, will it give me radiation or skin cancer?

I heard that keeping ito n your lap increases your chances of skin cancer. I keep my laptop on my bed while its on and the bed gets hot… is this a good idea?

Answer:
I don't know about the skin cancer thing.. but leaving the laptop on the bed can ruin the laptop. I think it's because of the excess of heat on the part below. That's what happened to mine once..

Edit: Ok I just googled it and it can cause a skin condition called Erythema ab igne. So it's probably not a good idea to keep your laptop on your lap

Answer:
no when they make electrical items they protect them from causing any harm to people. and so they cant be affected by other things.
mobile phones dont cause problems either, or those tower things where the signals go.
