What can i use to get rid of an allergic reaction to silver?

Question

I realized that when my belts touched my belly area it broke out in a rash. What can i use to get rid of it because i want to ear belly tops. Please help.

Answer 1

Your belt buckle is most likely not silver, silver in color-- yes... made of silver -- no.

You can paint a layer of clear nail polish on the areas of the belt that touch your skin or use clear tape. This will keep the belt from coming in direct contact with your skin.

If you have rings that cause irritation, you can use the same trick.

Answer 2

It needs to clear up on it's own. Maybe wash it and then rince excessively.

You could try some benadryle or whatever the spelling,.. it's an antihistmin... it might speed things up.

You need to immediately contact your doctor and alert them of this allergy. If you ever get in an accident or there is an emergency,... the medical community needs to know you are allergic to silver. You don't want to end up with silver in your body while your being worked on or trying to recover.

Answer 3

umm, i believe that it would be nickel or stainless steel u are reacting to because most belt buckles or jean buttons arent made of silver. that being said, its highly unlikely you are allergic, rather it is simply rubbing against you and creating an irritation.
the way i see it, you have one option... put tape over the areas that will be touching you and your problem should be solved... hope i helped
