My mcbook pinches my skin painfully

My mcbook hurts me. It seems like the coating of the steel is wearing off and steel splinters are pinching my skin. Is that somehow possible? The edge of my mcbook underneath my forearms when i have my hands on the keyboard really stings. I don't see any very visible damage/wear (at least not in lamp light).


Device: MacBook Pro (13-inch)


Does anyone have the same problem or know how to deal with it?

MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3), null

If this happens only when connected to the power adapter, you may need to replace the compact AC end with the 6-foot Grounded cord (US$19) to make certain everything is properly grounded. The ground from the cord is picked up from a ring at the power adapter end that grounds to the chromes lug.


It's not steel, it's Aluminum. It does not splinter, it may erode.


The best way to deal with it is to get an external keyboard right away. Once you have that external keyboard, write an email to your medical Doctor to arrange an exam. If you don't get checked, you could be ignoring a really serious medical condition.
