We are not born with nickel allergy. Nickel allergy is a skin contact allergy which can develop as a result of continuous contact with objects that contain nickel, such as zips, buttons, coins and jewelry. Clinical studies have identified and confirmed ear piercing and the wearing of earrings as a prime risk factor for developing nickel allergy, with as many as 10-30% of all women affected.
Once you have developed a nickel allergy there is no remedy which can cure the allergy. The only solution is to avoid all contact with metals containing nickel. This can be very difficult as all metals contain nickel, even gold and silver, mostly in the form of impurities. Therefore, there are no metal ear piercing earrings which are entirely free from nickel.
We recommend Blomdahl skin friendly earrings, developed in consultation with skin specialists, in pure medical grade titanium or medical plastic.
