Nickel Nickel is present in fake jewellery, particularly earrings, which can cause dermatitis around the ears. The most common way people become allergic to nickel is by having their ears pierced. Nickel is also present in bra clips, coins, keys, jeans studs and watch clips. There is a number of things you can do if you are allergic to nickel:- Wear real gold or silver jewellery. You must remember, however, that the clips, especially those on clip-on earrings, must also be made of real gold or silver.- Glue a small sequin or button onto the earring clips so that the nickel will not come directly into contact with your skin.- Metal watch clips can be changed over to plastic or painted with clear nail polish.- Sew material over jeans studs or bra clips so that the metal will not touch your skin.- A chemical called dimethylglyoxine can be used to test whether nickel is present in a metal object. If nickel is present, the liquid will turn pink.
Plants Not everything natural is good for the skin. Although many plants are beautiful in the garden, they can produce nasty reactions on the skin. In children especially, severe allergic reactions can afflict the face and can also produce a streaky rash on the arms. Rhus is well known for producing this sort of reaction, but chrysanthemums, grevillea, lilies, oleander and primula can all cause similar reactions.Decorative plants and flowers are more likely to produce allergic reactions, particularly in those who work in florist shops and nurseries. Alstramera, a member of the tulip family, is increasingly used in bouquets and can cause severe and even chronic hand dermatitis.

TREAT WHAT AILS YOU: HYPERPIGMENTATIONPROBLEM: HYPERPIGMENTATIONIt’s sometimes cute (freckles) and sometimes not (spotting on chest and hands) but this much is true, hyperpigmentation is one of the most common complaints today.Most types of pigment changes in the skin can be attributed to two major factors: hormonal shifts (pregnancy and the use of oral contraceptives are likely culprits) and prolonged exposure to the sun. A skin injury, disease or cosmetic procedure might also contribute to this uneven accumulation of skin pigment in the form of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. When the cause is hormonal, the pigmentation is called melasma and it shows up as irregularly shaped blotches, usually on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip. It’s a very common condition but, unfortunately, one of the most difficult to get rid of. A few lucky patients might see it go away on its own.Solar lentigosare also known as sun spots and, despite what many believe, ageing is not the cause – our dear friend the sun is. Take a peek at an elderly person’s naked body and you’ll see that the vast spotting on herface and hands doesn’t exist on her sun-protected areas.*21\82\8*
