What is Nickel Allergies?

Have you developed a rash after wearing jewelry or metal accessories? Nickel Allergies should be evaluated by an Allergy & Immunology provider.

Nickel allergy is a common type of contact allergy that causes a skin reaction after contact with nickel-containing items such as jewelry, watches, belt buckles, or clothing fasteners.

Common Symptoms

• Itchy rash
• Redness
• Dry or cracked skin
• Blisters in some cases
• Skin reaction where metal touched the body
• Recurring irritation with jewelry or accessories

When to see an Allergy & Immunology provider

You should see a specialist if rashes keep returning with metal contact, become severe, or are difficult to control.

Early detection is important for managing the condition and preventing further complications.
