Treating Nickel Allergy

Nickel allergy rashes usually clear up once contact with nickel-containing metal is stopped and a cortisone medicine is applied to the rash. Preventing nickel contact rashes means avoiding skin contact with nickel-containing metals. This may be awkward, especially as far as wearing jewelry is concerned. When you want to wear your wedding ring or other "essential" jewelry, please try this compromise approach: Wear the jewelry only for short periods of time when you're away from home, and apply a cortisone cream to your skin before putting your jewelry on.

If your ears are pierced, you can obtain hypoallergenic earrings.

Desensitization

There's no way to desensitize a person with nickel allergy with shots, pills, or any other method. Nickel allergy stays on for years, although sometimes it gradually becomes less severe.
