I developed a skin rash from a pair of metal earings which I put in my bra and the rash went from the contact area to all over from my neck down. The rash was flat red circular in appearance and itchy. It is gone now except it left the skin with a blotchy dark spots that took the place of the rash. What do you think was it the contact with the earings or something else?
Hi, Many individuals develop an allergic reaction to certain metals that are not inert in nature and when they come in contact with air, water then they decompose and release toxic products that cause skin reactions.  Yes, it can be very much to be a cause and if you wear metallic earrings you might notice a similar reaction at the earlobe. Other cause can be any bug bit.  So, for now, you can apply Clobetasol or dexamethasone ointment and do cool compresses over it. Also, if there is continuing itching take an antihistamine like Levocetirizine or Allegra.  In the future, if you get similar reactions with metals then use only inert materials like gold or plastic. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
