Hi. I’m 21 and this year I developed severe excema on my face. To make a long story short, I went to a dermatologist and they did a ‘patch test’ and found out that I am serverely allergic to NICKEL and COBALT! Now I do my best to avoid things with nickel and cobalt in it. It’s difficult b/c it is in keys, money, doorknobs etc. But as long as I use my sleeves and am careful it does not act up! Please, please ask your Dr. about a ‘Patch Allergy test’.
