Sometimes, some people suffer from some kind of allergy to the skin produced by the jewels. The symptoms of these allergic reactions translate into itching, redness and even a slight swelling of the skin. Women suffer these symptoms more frequently, since they are the ones who use jewelry more routinely, even using them in a lot of variety and quantity, which increases even more the probabilities of suffering some type of allergy. We explain the reasons why jewelry allergy develops.

How can you prevent skin damage from wearing jewelry?

The most advisable thing to do is to immediately stop wearing the jewelry in question that is causing the allergic reaction, since this will surely get worse over time. The symptoms will disappear by themselves once we have disposed of the jewelry. In the event that the symptoms become too severe, it is advisable to see a doctor.

In order to wear your jewelry with complete peace of mind, it is best to use jewelry made of metals such as platinum or titanium. Gold and sterling silver will not cause any type of allergy or itchy skin either. Jewelry should never be one of our choices when it comes to wearing jewelry, although if we still decide to wear jewelry, we need to pay attention to how our skin reacts and if any signs of allergy appear, we should remove it quickly to avoid aggravating the problem.

Does only jewelry cause allergy?

In most cases, allergies are caused by the presence of materials such as nickel mixed with other materials. Pure gold, therefore, does not cause allergies of any kind, but it is true that jewelry made of gold and hardened with other metals can cause itching and redness on the skin.

Silver jewelry is sometimes also made of nickel. It is advisable to be well informed before acquiring any jewelry and be sure that we are indeed buying a nickel-free jewel. Better safe than sorry.
