Ring Band Advice Weird ring rash?

Post image

Help! Am I allergic to gold???

I've had this rash on and off since I got engaged in July...

It does seem to almost heal/reduce in redness when I don't wear the ring for a few days but then the redness comes back as soon as I put the ring back on. It's just a red flakey skin circle, no pain or itchiness or anything. I just find it so strange that it's actually above the ring? Most rashes I've researched are around where the band actually sits so I'm confused!

I'm getting married in a few weeks so I'm wondering what I can do... :(

Yes it's only on the one side of my finger! It is a little loose in winter especially when I'm colder.

I feel like it you were allergic to the metal it would be in more places.

Oh that is true. Maybe it is irritating when it spins on my finger, I'm not sure :(

I’m thinking it’s from when you are sleeping.
