Saturday I saw the head Dr. of the Dermatology department about all of my skin infections that I have had for years and the doctor was great. Ben even liked him and that is saying a lot. There I found out that I have developed an allergy to my wedding/engagement rings. I had no idea that this could happen. I have been wearing my rings for a few years now and then all of a sudden my finger has tiny blisters all over it. I thought that maybe it was from all the heat. I would let my finger heal and then I would put it back on and it would do it again. He said that it was most likely the nickel in the white gold bands that I am allergic to. I was devastated when I heard that. I love my rings and it has been killing me not being able to wear them. I feel like something is missing when I don't have it on. I can't even wear then on a chain around my neck. I broke out in a rash and my neck started to burn. (Sometimes I really feel like a freak). Ben and I are going to go to the jewelers to see if there is something that we can do. I do not want a new ring. I want my ring. These rings are my most precious possessions.

Tom had an idea about your ring. What if I put a layer of my UV gel on it (what I use for Rock Star Toes) and cure it in the UV light? It's clear and maybe if it's just on the inside where it touched your skin, it might provide a barrier. Dentists use it in your mouth, and so far your toes haven't bothered you having it on. Just a thought. You can always have your diamonds re-set in a platinum setting (no nickel)and have it made to look like your current ring, so it's almost the same. I'm so sorry! Totally unfair for you.
oh that's so sad! I can't wear any nickle in my earrings or I get rashes, but to not be able to wear my ring would be horrible. I hope you find a solution soon.
