My finger gets swollen every week or so

You should let the doctor see what kind of infection you are having on your finger so you'd be given a proper medication. If the ring is genuinely gold, then you should not have any reaction to it. How long have you been wearing your ring? Since when did this happen. Have you noticed what would be the exact time or situation that the itching and swelling starts? Have you been using a new lotion on your hand?

White gold is made up of gold and other metals. Likely, your ring contains nickel, which is causing an allergic reaction. Of course, the way to be certain that this is the case and that you don't have some other health issue is to see your doctor.

LOL... allergic to marriage? One day that's going to be a real medical condition. I would say that you could be allergic to the white gold. Or maybe you have something like psoriasis.

hmmm... first time to learn of someone with a reaction to gold. i cannot give an answer if it's allergy or not. it's best to see a dermatologist.

You could be allergic to something on the white gold. I think you should seriously talk to a doctor about it. Does the ring fit snuggle around your finger. Sometime if the ring is a little loose it might scratch your finger every now and then which then gets irritating. As for tight rings, the only effect I quite know about tight rings is lack of blood at the tip of your finger. My mother wears a tight ring but she never complain about the lack of blood. Any time she decides to take off the ring to clean it you usually see that her finger is sink in. The mark of the ring leaves a bright mark on her finger.

It may well be the metal in the ring, especially nickel or copper. You might try some Benadryl or a NSAID like aspirin or ibuprofen to reduce the swelling and pain.

Sorry to hear about your finger, maybe you are allergic to white gold or the components of the rings. The thought that your finger with the ring gets itchy every week is alarming. I guess the best you can do is consult a Dermatologist/skin specialist.

Maybe you are allergic to your wedding ring. So rather than having them swell, don't wear the wedding ring anymore. What is important is you know that you are already married.

The metal may not really be gold or one thing for sure you're allergic to that ring. There is no such thing as white gold but I would say that your ring is gold with more silver in it since pure gold is brown-like yellowish color.

You could be having an irritation. I know I tend to have this issue with jewellery whether it's fake or real.

There is a point, you could be allergic to gold. But you should think for how long you've been having this problem. Otherwise, you may have some circulation problems, some problems related to the heart, related to the tension, that cause your fingers to get swollen. This happens to me at times, for medical reasons I suppose.
