Do you ever feel itchy after
wearing a certain pair of earrings? The
culprit could be Nickel. Nickel is a metal that often gets mixed into jewelry
that is a known allergen. It may be found in earrings, rings, necklaces, and
bracelets. Besides jewelry, it can also be found in watch straps, belt buckles,
and the metal tab at the waistband of jeans, bra clasps, and hair clips. If you develop a red itchy rash after wearing
certain jewelry or clothing you may have a Nickel allergy and should contact
your dermatology provider. A prescription medication
can be prescribed for severe cases. There are also products on the market available today that you can
purchase to help coat your jewelry to protect it from your skin such as Nickel
Guard.
