To alleviate allergies it is very important that we stop using the item in question and that we treat and hydrate the area with products that help calm dermatitis
Costume jewelry is made of different materials, such as pewter, for example. And while they can be eye-catching, pretty and accessible, not everyone can wear them often because then they suffer from what’s known as contact dermatitis.
Like zippers, coins, eyeglass frames, costume jewelry can also have a large amount of nickel, which is a substance that can cause allergic reactions in some people.
Mayo Clinic experts say that ” nickel allergy is a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis, an itchy rash that appears when the skin touches a generally harmless substance.”
Do you have a nickel allergy?
If you experience allergy to this metal it is because you have been using an object that contains it for a long time and has had direct contact with the skin, such as costume jewelry. Sometimes it happens when putting on a ring, a pair of earrings, or a bracelet and sometimes when a second element comes into play, such as a detergent.
The Madrid Nutrition Clinic warns us about the symptoms of nickel allergy are the following:
Itching
Grain
Scabs
Eruption
Blisters
Redness
Changes in skin color
The initial symptoms develop between 6 and 24 hours after placing the jewel in question. Once the allergic reaction has occurred, it can last a few days or even weeks.
