Of all the metals, 💍nickel is the one that produces the most reactions, and affects 15% of the general population, according to data from the Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (SEAIC), although it is women who suffer the most, due to continued use of costume jewelery and jewelery. According to these same sources, the number of men who suffer from allergies is increasing due to the use of earrings, chains, piercings, bracelets and other accessories.

The allergic skin reaction to nickel looks like eczema. Signs and symptoms include a rash that is itchy, red, swollen, scaly, and probably scabbed in appearance. Generally, the rash appears on the area of ​​skin that comes in contact with the metal.
A solution to avoid allergy or its appearance is to use hypoallergenic metals such as Rhodium, 24K Gold, Niobium or Titanium, the problem is that due to their high price they are reserved for jewelry.
