Nickel
What is Nickel and where is it found?
Nickel is a metallic element used widely in various industrial applications, including in stainless steel, batteries, and plating. Common items containing nickel include jewelry, coins, electronic devices, and kitchen utensils.
Why do I have an inflammatory reaction to Nickel?
An inflammatory reaction to nickel often results from nickel allergy, a type of contact dermatitis. The immune system mistakenly identifies nickel as a harmful substance, leading to inflammation, redness, itching, and rash upon direct contact.
What can I do about it?
To manage nickel sensitivity, avoid direct contact with nickel-containing items by choosing hypoallergenic jewelry and nickel-free products. If exposure is unavoidable, use protective barriers like gloves or coatings.
