Generally speaking, pure gold and silver or jewelry have stable performance and a low probability of developing skin allergies. However, people with allergic constitution who come into contact with jewelry are often prone to dermatitis due to certain stimuli. The symptoms are mostly itching, burning, redness, peeling or papules, blisters, and purulent secretions on the local skin when wearing necklaces, rings, and other jewelry. In severe cases, ulcers may form, and even trigger asthma or systemic urticaria. When choosing jewelry, you should first know if your skin has allergic reactions and try to avoid wearing jewelry that is most likely to cause dermatitis, such as gold, silver, chromium, or nickel plating.
Ring syndrome: Wearing a ring on one's hand day and night for years can cause numbness, soreness, and pain in the fingers. The skin, muscles, and bones of the fingers that are tightly bound by the ring can become deformed into a circular shape, which can easily cause finger deformation. If not removed in a timely manner, it can also affect blood circulation and even lead to local necrosis. Wearing the ring on one's hand for a long time makes it difficult to clean the skin underneath the ring, causing bacteria and viruses to multiply and spread, leading to the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms. Never wear a ring for a long time without taking it off.
Earring syndrome can cause people to pierce their ears and eyes on the street, which is very unhygienic. If the tools used for ear piercing are not disinfected thoroughly, it is possible for you to catch diseases such as tetanus. Some people insert iron wire, bamboo swabs, cotton swabs, and other materials after ear and eye piercing, which not only hinders the healing of the ear and eye holes, but also promotes the spread of bacterial infections and even causes ear cartilage inflammation. I suggest that you go to a reputable beauty salon or hospital for ear and eye piercing. You should also avoid summer, as sweating is common in summer, and if you don't pay attention to protection, the skin around the ears and eyes is prone to inflammation. Also, if earrings are worn too early, they may rub against the skin and cause skin ulceration.
A health quarantine agency in New York conducted a test on thousands of gold jewelry and found that over 70 of them contained radioactive elements. Some radioactive elements, such as polonium, cobalt, radium, etc., often coexist with gold mines. During the process of mining, smelting, and making gold jewelry, it is inevitable that a small number of radioactive elements remain and mix inside. When wearing gold jewelry containing these radioactive elements, the skin in contact with it is exposed to radiation for a long time, causing radiation jewelry disease, and in severe cases, radiation cancer.
