Allergic to metals... What to do? Help?
607248
You probably have contact dermatitis, which is an allergy to nickel. Most costume jewelry has nickel in the metal parts. You should only wear real gold or sterling silver, or get jewelry from some place like "Simply Whispers," which uses no nickel. I have this problem, too. It's very common. The other thing you can do is "paint" rings and bracelets with clear nail polish to minimize skin contact.

sounds like an allergic reaction to certain foods.Watch what you eat when this happens and try to eliminate it from your diet.

see a dr. bendry has few allergic reactions,maybe it reacted\nto something you have and simply made it worse,usually in reaction to it you simply sleep it off,try tylenol and get to the dr.

Sometimes your body will react to metal.  Like me...Sometimes my fingers turn green from my rings.  Certain food you eat makes you react to metal differently.

I have an allergy to metal as well.  Mine is not as severe as yours seems to be though.  My jeans button breaks me out but only in the immediate contact area.  I also cannot wear hypo-allergenic jewellry.  I can wear real gold but that's it.  I have metal fillings and have no problem, they do not come into contact with any skin.  I would like to tell you my experience with the other kind of fillings though, the white kind you can't really see.  That's the only kind my dentist likes to use.  When she gave me those my tooth never quit hurting.  They drilled it back out and used metal to refill it.  I will not use anything but a metal filling from now on.  The dentist told me that some people can't tolerate the other kind.   ???   Good luck.

sounds like you are allergic to something. could be something as simple as dust...an over the counter allergy drug might help

You can find many heavy metal detoxes at all health food stores and YES very high links to autism. Why take the risk, and I certainly would not listen to our medical profession, we are a very sick nation, just look around you, every one has allergies, viruses, constipation, arthritis, heart disease, cancer etc.... this should not be the norm.\nI never visit doctors any more and have never been healthier, you can do everything yourself with diet and supplements.\nCheck out the book immunizations are they really safe and effective. Shocking!!!

Flax seed helps something, but i am not sure what. My brother has the allergies real bad too, and he is into all that "natural" stuff... I'll ask him and have the answer edited into my post.\n\nIn the mean time, Walmart has the generic Benedryl. 100 pills for less then $4.00 a bottle. It might help...\n\nI'll re-post again soon.\n\nEDIT**********\n\nYep. They are right. Local honey. It will help to aclimate you to the pollen around you. It HAS to be local honey. You should be able to find some at your local grocer, farmer's market, or flea market.\n\nGood luck.

Until you can get to the doc, have a bottle of Benedryl with you take one whenever the symptoms arise (take 2 if symptoms are bad). However the Benedryl will make you drowsy, so be careful if you are driving. I developed an allergy out of nowhere from one day to the next, so even if you haven't come into contact or eaten anything new, you can suddenly have a reaction... You live in Cal, so it's gonna be hard, but I was told to wear long sleeves and not be in direct sunlight until I saw the Doc. Heat can trigger an allergic reaction (I live in Montreal...easier to stay cool!). Try taking luke warm, cool shower, maybe without soap/body gel and see what happens. Good luck!

Take her to the dermatologist to get an allergy screening done. It could be anything from pet dander to cottonwood to dead bugs.

I have had both of those allergies, but when I took all my vitamins my immune system got stronger and I slowly tried those foods again and my immune system didn't react so strongly. Talk to your doctor about vitamins. GOOD LUCK! I hope you feel better! I hated having it!

This is an old wife's tale, but it has worked for me in the past.  Get a gold ring and rub it on the stye.  It reacts to something in the metal.\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing

Not everyone has the same reactions as you do. Get an allergie test done to find out what your allergic to.

yellow gold and white gold are the same in the allergy department.  \nstart looking at platinum, but beware that platinum dulls very quickly and i'm not sure if jewelers can get it to shine again.\n\ngosh....i feel for you.  ask jewelers if there are any treatments for the gold that would put a barrier between your skin and the metal...maybe some kind of coating??

There is a OTC medicine called Drixoral. It works really well, as well as Benadryl, or generic Diphenhydramine. If none of those work, you may want to make an appearance at the office of a holistic doctor-he/she will do an allergy test and you may be able to have your reaction to allergens desensitized.

Quit useing it immediately...Obviously it irritating your skin...Wash with warm water and a gentle soap...rinse well and apply some baby powder for a few days...Wash and repeat, throughout the day...No deodorint for a while...Then change to one with out Aluminum Sulphate in it...It's clogging your pours and trapping the bacteria...That's why it itches...Try and refrain from scrathing it..Wash as above instead...It'll eventually stop itching and clear up... :)...Yukoneze
