Sudden allergy to wedding ring?
June 16th, 2010
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?
Forgot to mention, my ring is platinum.
Please read the entire question before answering so your answer isn’t about something that was already addressed in the question, like washing my hands. Thanks.
One more thing….whatever your answer is to my question, please address why it would only happen on one side of my finger, and always the same side.
