After about six months, I have developed an allergy to my platinum wedding band. I get a red, painful rash that resembles a chemical burn after only a day.
I don''t know what the exact mixture was for this band, but I''m assuming it has some nickel in there. Are there other metals that might be causing it? I do not have the reaction to my platinum engagement ring.
My engagement ring is stamped PLAT950. The wedding band just says PLAT. I called my jeweler who custom made the ring to see if they can tell me the mixture, and the lady said that it is 100% platinum. Does anyone actually use 100% platinum? I think she just doesn''t know what she''s talking about.
SO... I''m wanting to know what I can do to prevent the rash. The band is covered with engraving. Is it possible to coat the inside with palladium or some other metal to prevent the rash?
