Which earrings are good for people with eczema?

If you suffer from eczema but still want to wear earrings, you should choose materials that are less likely to cause eczema . What you should absolutely avoid are earrings that contain nickel. Nickel is mainly found in cheaper earrings made of various metal alloys. Even earrings made of gold and silver can contain some nickel, and can therefore cause eczema for those who are very sensitive.

It is best to choose earrings made of titanium , surgical steel or medical plastic. But since different people are sensitive to different substances, you may need to experiment to see what works for you and what triggers your eczema.

How do you know if you can't stand earrings?

It can be difficult to know whether you can tolerate earrings or not until you have tried them on. But if you are generally sensitive to skin contact with various metals and some other materials, there is a great risk that you cannot tolerate earrings.

If you have pierced your ears and notice that the holes are very difficult to heal, or that you repeatedly get eczema or other rashes on your ears, it is likely that you cannot tolerate earrings. But that doesn't mean you can't stand earrings. It could be earrings in a certain material you can't stand.

Can you get a rash from earrings?

You can absolutely get a rash from earrings. The rash can be due to several reasons. One reason could be that you are allergic to earrings in the material you are using. But it could also be because, for example, you have become very hot and sweaty around the earring or you have not managed to keep it clean.

If you have a rash, it is good to remove the earring for a while and let the rash heal. Then try again and see if the rash comes back. In that case, it is probably an allergy to the earring. The best thing is to try hoops or rings so that the hole gets air and can breathe.
