My wife is suffering from a die hard allergy of skin . It started with non-gold metal and now a slight skin irritation whether from sweating or rash leads to a severe irritation and inflammation and boil like growth. She cannot wear any metallic jewellery made of other than gold . The buttons of bra , the stitches of blouse and even sun ray cause severe itching in the exposed points . But sometimes the itching spread to other parts of the body .
All alopaethic treatments have been tried and failed .
Can you advice any alternative treatment or medicine ?

This sound like a reaction to the nickel that is in most jewelry and builds in the system until problems, like she has, creep up. It helps to paint the metal parts of watch bands, clothing hooks, metal buttons and such with a clear nail polish. There are PH balancing creams on the market, such as Acidmantle, that will ease the irritation. Also, try using a cortizone cream to ease the itching and aide in the healing. Safeway pharmacies can get the Acidmantle cream for you if they do not have it in stock. I swear by it and I used to use it on my childrens' diaper rash. Good luck!
