Question: Is it possible i am allergic to the metal!?
My ear got infected when changed from 14kt gold earrings to other ones from claire's!. Is it possible that i am allergic to the metal!? I got them pierced at claire's if that helps at all!. Yes i know BIG mistake!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
ones at claires are cheap material, probably something like nickel or copper (with paint over it)!. stick to earrings made with gold or silver!. if you do use costume jewelry, only keep them in until night, then take them out, clean your ears and put in other earrings!.

edit: if you got an infection, there is a great possibility it IS from the metal!. i got my ears pierced with nickel earrings and i had a reoccuring infection until i changed them!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you got an infection, its not the metal!. An infection means that the piercing was not healed when you put the new earrings in!. If only one ear got "infected" then its most likely not an allergic reaction because you had earrings in both ears!. Its possible to be allergic to metal, copper being one of the most common of the metal allergies, thought gold and silver allergies are much much rarer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes it is VERY possible that you are allergic to the metal!.!.!.my aunt can not wear jewlery unless its silver or gold!.!.!.no metal stuff!.!.!.it highly possible change back to your other earings before the infection gets too serious!.!.!.best of luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

cheap metals can cause chemical reactions with your skin!. I'd suggest getting better earrings!. You can't be allergic to metals though!.
