Metal allergies?

My friend's daughter participates in rodeos. She has lots of western type belts with big buckles--She loves to wear them but they can really break out her stomach. What can she do?

Metal allergies?
I have a similar problem; I can't wear jewelry unless it's made of stainless steel or surgical steel (essentially the same thing). Nothing to be done about it; has to do with the acids in the skin.





She can experiment with different metals and see which one tends to not react with her skin. I suspect, though, that she'll wind up like me - stainless steel or not at all.
Reply:thanks/ she won't want to hear it, but at least she'll know now :) Report It

Reply:...As already answered...protect the skin from the buckle..if these are special championship buckles, she might check into having platinum coat put on the back...if she can tolerate platinum that is.and the expense......also another metal has been suggested to me, because on occasion my gold rings do the same...not sure , but think was rhodium...an allergist or fine jeweler can give you more info.
Reply:Wear longer shirts that prevent the buckle from touching her skin, I have metal allergies too and thats about the best help.
