I've always been like that, and so is my mom. I get red itchy bumps and even silver I can only wear for so long. I've found anything 14K and above you should be good. I've tried 10K but still broke out (as well as my mom). Each person is different though.
Try 14k gold.
I used to get the rash like thing on my stomach by my belly button when I was younger and it turned out it was from the belt buckle being up against my skin while sitting in class lol.

Yes, many items of jewellery that are not stainless steel, gold, silver or platinum have cheaper metal mixed with them (including gold and silver plated). Many people find this irritating.
If something irritates you, try coating it with clear nail polish, as this provides a protective layer that the metal doesn't penetrate.

Im allergic to cheap metals. Brings me out in a really nasty scabby rash that itches like mad. Then it's off to the docs for some cream or whatnot to heal it. Seems to be worse with watch backs but im guessing that because they have a larger surface area in contact with the skin.

I'm allergic to cheap metal, but seriously, something that's in the back of the batteries in watches and in loads of cheap metal. I can only wear silver + gold at the least.

I can't wear anything except gold or silver but even those for only a day or two cause my system is so acidic that I tarnish even those two things.

I can only wear gold and silver. I must be allergic to cheap metals.

I can only wear surgical steel, cristal, sterling silver, gold, platinum or other pure metal (not just plated). Anything else disagrees with me too ;-)

I can only wear sterling silver or 9ct gold. Even in my ears, I can't wear anything cheap.
