allergic to fake jewelry what can i wear
Hi Husks, I have a problem. I'm allergic to fake jewelry and I don't know what to wear instead. Can you help me?
Absolutely, I can certainly help, Don't worry, there are plenty of hypoallergenic jewelry options. Hypoallergenic jewelry is made from materials that are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Titanium, stainless steel, sterling silver, and 14k gold are usually good options.
That sounds great! But why do some people have allergies to fake jewelry?
People can have allergic reactions to various types of metals, but nickel is often the main culprit in costume jewelry. Indeed, nickel allergy is one of the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis - an itchy rash that appears where your skin touches a usually harmless substance.
Oh, I see. Is there any way to tell if jewelry has nickel in it?
It can be challenging to determine if jewelry contains nickel just by looking at it. If you're purchasing new pieces, the safest option is to seek out jewelry specifically labeled as 'nickel-free'. If you're not sure about a piece you already own, a dermatologist could potentially offer skin patch testing to determine if nickel is the problem.
