I am not allergic to gold, but probably nickel. I got irritated by a necklace I wore in 2018 and it caused a rash on my chest. It comes and goes, so I might need to go to a dermatologist. I want it gone by the summer becuase I wear a lot of tank tops and dresses that expose my chest.
I am suuuper allergic to steel, I had reactions to my braces growing up so severe that you could see it on the outsides of my cheeks and the inside of my mouth is all scarred up even a decade later, I also had reactions to my old medical ID which was surgical grade steel, I can't even wear a steel ring for an hour without getting contact dermatitus. It's annoying as heck because it drives up the price of my jewelry and medical ID tags a ton!
Please help!! My helix was pierced with a sterling silver hoop and my ear is now swollen with little bumps and it’s super itchy. I took the piercing out but it’s still really bad😭😭
I ve become illergic to gold , before the years everything was ok .. my ears swell and painful 😣 with gold earrings , although I ve no complain with the artificial ... Plz tell me why it is so
It could be hormonal changes. I am more sensitive to jewelry after having my daughter. I don’t have issues with gold but other jewelry, yes. I refuse to wear Paparazzi jewelry. I start to itch and stuff. Hope this helps. 😊
Can I dip and seal my 14k white gold ring into platinum? I keep getting a rash on my finger after wearing it for just 1 day. They keep telling me that it’s from dirt and soap building up under my ring but i don’t even wear my ring when I was my hands. So I know I’m allergic to white gold. Can a jeweler seal my ring with platinum?
I’m allergic to all metal except surgical steel… It sucks because I’m a girl and I wanna wear jewelry but I can’t… i’m even getting a surgical steel engagement ring and wedding band so I know I’m definitely not allergic to it! I’m afraid in the future I’m going to need to get surgery with some kind of metal and I’ll be allergic to it… That’s scary to think of!
I’m allergic to surgical stainless steel. I’m not sure what else I’m allergic too. I tried changing to a 14kt gold jewelry and I hope I don’t get a reaction.
I wear gold, all day everyday. Yellow mainly , but also white and rose gold at times. I have never had an issue with wearing it, but I just had a patch test done for allergies and apparently I’m allergic to it. How is that even possible ?! They said I had an allergy to Goldsoddiumthiosulfate. Is it possible to have an allergy to this but not have contact dermatitis? I am devastated and in denial to be honest lol. But the area is still bubbled and highly irritated. I can’t understand why this would not have bothered my skin for the last 20+ years but the patch test shows otherwise. Any advice !?
I wish these issues were easier to address, but everyone is different. It may be a specific alloy that bothers you, but again, it is very hard to diagnose when allergies are involved. I hope you find an answer. Best of luck.
I recently found out I'm allergic to gold sodium thiosulfate too, and I'm also devastated as I can't wear any of my beautiful gold jewelry anymore 😭 However, I do not have an allergy to nickel and I don't react to my 10K jewelry, so I'm going to try wearing 10K jewelry only in hopes that I continue to not react
As a nail tech I just have to say that this is a /horrible/ idea for people who are already allergy prone. Nail polish is made with acrylates (EMA and MMA) which are highly sensitizing and not intended to be skin-contact safe. Most of the retired techs I know retired due to developing chemical sensitivities to EMA or MMA and many even develop Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Disorder (a truly life-ruining disorder) from nail products. I myself have already developed severe allergies to my profession and I'm only still working as a nail tech today because I want to make back what I spent on beauty school. Most consumers are not at risk for this purely because they do not come into skin-contact with these products or inhale their fumes on a daily basis. So wearing nail polish directly against your skin on a regular basis is like asking for an allergy to develop.
You cannot sell something as sterling silver if it has a plating on it nit sure wherevyour from but we have the sale of goods acts so if silver jewellery has rhodium its with say silver with rhodium plating it will not be sold as sterling silver and the marking or stamp will show that.
Not sure what you mean? His take, and the science is clear, copper is a heavily reactive metal and will irritate a lot people’s skin. That’s why he said purer gold is better for “allergies.” Copper reacts to the acids and oils naturally present on your skin and oxidizes. a lot people’s skin is irritated by those oxidants
