Health Tip: Are You Allergic to Jewelry?

(HealthDay News) — If jewelry causes your skin to itch, you may be allergic to nickel, says Winchester Hospital. Nickel is a silvery-white metal that is used to make a range of products, including zippers, buttons and costume jewelry.

Winchester Hospital recommends these solutions:

Stick to sterling silver or 14-karat gold.
Wear stainless steel or hypo-allergenic jewelry.
Keep the area dry where your skin touches the metal.
Wear a layer of protective moisturizing cream.
Wear your jewelry less often.
