I''ve had constant eczema for the past few years and after numerous steroid creams working and then the eczema coming back, I finally went for allergy testing. I''m not allergic to anything food or environment related (that''s testable anyway) and the allergist and my dermatologist think I have a metal allergy. Before we do any further testing (the metal allergy tests last 3 days) I agreed to not wear any jewelry. Guess what? My eczema is clearing up by itself
My e-ring and anniversary band (which are at the jewelers getting soldered together) are 950 platinum as is the plain 2mm Signed Pieces wedding band I wear (or rather, wore). My pendant is a half bezel set in 14K white gold and I did get eczema on my chest, neck and collar bone. I''ve had eczema on my hands pretty much since we got engaged and remember going to a friend''s engagement party and wouldn''t show anyone my e-ring because there was a horrible patch of eczema right on my finger around the ring.
The allergist thinks its the 5% mix that''s in the platinum and my dermatologist somewhat agrees.
Now what? I''m not wearing ANY jewelry at all and I really miss wearing my wedding band
and I''m not ready to admit that my wedding set may have to be reset in yellow gold (I don''t wear ANYthing yellow gold).
Does anyone else have a metal allergy??
Thanks!
