What to do if you are allergic to silver jewelry

Compared with gold, in terms of price, gold is more expensive than silver, so young people usually start buying silver jewelry first, and then buy gold after getting married; in terms of style, silver jewelry looks younger and more energetic, while gold is more suitable for older people. Therefore, the group that purchases silver jewelry in the market tends to be younger. Silver has strong plasticity, so there are many types of silver jewelry. But what if you are allergic to silver jewelry?

1. Metal allergy is actually very common. Currently, one in every 1 million people in the world is allergic to metal. Nickel is the metal most likely to cause allergic contact dermatitis. Common symptoms of allergies are redness, swelling, itching, and yellow discharge around the skin. If you want to prevent metal allergies, the most direct and effective way is to isolate the allergens.

2. First of all, metal earrings such as gold and silver themselves will not cause skin allergies. It is just because these precious metals contain more or less impurities such as nickel, chromium, mercury, barium, etc. that can easily cause skin allergies in humans. Therefore, special attention should be paid to metal earrings that need to pierce the skin. When purchasing, try to choose sushi with a higher content of precious metals, such as 999 gold, 925 silver, etc. The human body is generally not allergic to these metals.

3. Secondly, any metal earrings must be disinfected before wearing and the jewelry must be cleaned. Before wearing the earrings, wipe them with alcohol, or soak them directly in alcohol for a few minutes. You can also apply a layer of lip balm on the earrings or ears. It is also best to use glue plugs on the back of the earrings to prevent earring allergies. In addition, platinum is the purest metal in the world. Not only does it not cause allergic reactions in the human body, but it also has a good skin care effect on human skin. So if you are allergic to earrings made of other metal jewelry, you might as well try wearing earrings made of platinum.

4. Finally, the method of using nail polish to prevent earring allergies should be used with caution. The most effective way to prevent allergies is to isolate the allergens. Therefore, in order to achieve the effect of preventing allergies, some people apply colorless nail polish on their earrings. This method does isolate the metal, but nail polish contains many chemicals, such as isopropyl ketone, ethyl acetate, acetone, etc. Excessive skin contact is harmful to the human body, so it is recommended that you do not take this approach.
