I don't own expensive jewlery, just a lot of ordinary stuff from aldo and I get bad rashes from it. Obviously it's an allergy but is there something I can do or get to coat my jewlery or for my skin that will allow me to use my stuff?

Sounds like you are allergic to nickel. You could coat the jewlery in a thin layer of clear nail varnish or from now on buy silver jewlery.

Basically, you are allergic to the fake jewelry. My tips are you have to buy the expensive stuff to avoid the rashes. Also, you can try coating the jewels with clear nail polish. It will constantly chip off so you will have to reapply after each use. :]]] Hope this helps!!

I can't wear cheap jewelry either. You can use clear nail polish. Like on the back of a watch. That works for me. As for earrings, if they are not gold I have to buy gold plated. Rings I switched to silver. It's cheaper than gold. And silver chains too. Maybe it means we were rich in a past life and we can't adjust to the cheap stuff.

not lots, because of the fact once you coat it with clean nail polish it come off after a whilst. So appropriate subject is, by using much less rings and get the genuine stuff, you would be happier. because of the fact by using the time you purchase 3 products of not genuine stuff, you have something genuine and no rashes

You can use clear finger nail polish or topcoat to cover the metal that touches your skin. Make sure to let it thoroughly dry before wearing. You could be allergic to nickel, zinc, or copper or one of the many other things added to metal when casting jewelry. Hope this helps!

Sorry I do not know of any thing you can use for the things you have now but in the future you might have to buy silver or 10-24K real stuff some of us just can not wear costume jewelry.

Sounds like you're allergic and will have to fork out money for the real mccoy I'm afraid. If not, try wearing jewellery made form wooden beads and natural fibres if you like the bohemian look.

i don't think so, try to get hypoallergic jewelry. It the problem persists don't wear fake jewelry that often or at all. Im black and the only jewelry i can wear for extended periods of time has to be gold. also always wipe your jewelry down with alchol to clean it before putting it on.

It's always a good idea to rub peanut butter on your skin before you put on cheap jewelry. Sometimes I carry a little extra in a zip lock baggie, just in case I need to re-apply.
