White Gold Ring Reaction: Redness, Itching & Blisters - Possible Causes & Solutions


Question
I've been married one year this July. Wore the same ring for a year. Normally I have a reaction to plated jewelry turning my figure green. This is different. My ring is white gold and for the past 3 months I've noticed a reaction. Red, itchy, blisters would start to appear around the band and it only seems to happen when I start to sweat. Any suggestion? Thank you Ps. I was there when we purchased the ring so I know its real.

Answer
I can't really help, but I can tell you that I have had similar problems with my white gold band in the summer, and I can tell you that mine is for sure real gold as well. I think it just happens from the mixture of sweat and rubbing when it gets real hot in the summer, and your finger starts to chafe.
