Jewelry dermatitis Some women wearing rings and necklaces can cause contact dermatitis of neck and fingers, itchy skin, erythema, peeling and papules, and even asthma or systemic urticaria in severe cases. Local infection. When piercing ear holes, tongue holes or nostrils, infection may be caused by lax local disinfection or improper nursing afterwards, and organ damage may also be caused by friction and hanging of jewelry, resulting in secondary infection. Deformity.
The most common is the ring deformity of fingers or toes. Some people wear the ring for a long time, even if they don't take it off at night, which will cause local blood supply deficiency, cause hyperplasia or local persistent infection at the lower part of the ring, and eventually lead to deformity of fingers or toes. In some ethnic minority areas, due to the overweight of silver earrings and ear strain, the length of earlobes reaches more than ten centimeters, and some even have large earlobes. Cancer. Pure gold and silver jewelry is relatively stable, but there may be a small amount of radioactive substances such as polonium, cobalt and radium in the process of jewelry mining and processing. Once people wear jewelry containing radioactive substances, it may cause damage to blood, bones, nerves and other systems, and even cause cancer.
Beware of allergic jewelry. Contact dermatitis caused by wearing metal jewelry is usually called jewelry disease. This is because people with allergies have allergic reactions to some metals contained in jewelry, such as nickel and chromium. Some people's allergic symptoms are only manifested in the skin parts that come into contact with jewelry, such as ears, neck, wrists, fingers and so on. Some people will have a systemic allergic reaction. First, the skin is red and swollen, then there will be small papules, long blisters, itchy and uncomfortable all over the body. Generally speaking, patients with allergic reactions caused by jewelry can be cured by using some topical drugs to treat skin diseases. But if the skin is repeatedly stimulated by inflammation, it is prone to malignant lesions, which may lead to cancer.
In addition, if you wear jewelry for a long time, it is difficult to clean the surrounding skin. Especially in summer, people will sweat a lot. If you don't pay attention to cleaning, pathogenic microorganisms can easily breed here and invade the skin, thus affecting your health.
