I have been told by my dermotologist that coating the offending metal with clear nail polish periodically will help.

I am allergic to cobalt and nickel, a common cross allergy.

Surgical grade surgical steel is ok, platinum is ok. Keep in mind that nickel can be found in many things. I have allergic reactions to some hair dye, so my stylist has to search for a cobalt free version.

Best advice: see a dermatologist. Have testing and then be educated on what to avoid.

Metal allergies are not bad. I am also allergic to the SUN! Now, that is frustrating.
