Sudden allergy to wedding ring?
June 8th, 2009
It’s Me asked:
I’ve noticed lately that I occasionally develop a rash under my wedding ring. The strange part is, it’s only on half my finger, not all the way around (it’s only on the side closest to my pinky). It starts getting itchy and small blisters form, so I’ll take it off for a few days until it clears. A few weeks go by, and it will happen again.

It’s not soap/lotion/anything getting trapped under there and not rinsed. I take off my ring when I wash my hands and when I use lotion. I’ve always just used neosporin and covered it with a band-aid when this happens.
Any idea what could be causing this, and why it’s only on one side of my finger and not all the way around?
