If you’re getting a rash from your wedding ring, there are two important things to remember: don’t panic and don’t ignore it. Unfortunately, many rashes are caused by a sensitivity or allergy to the metal. The most common metal allergy is nickel, followed by copper, chromium, and cobalt. A lesser-known cause is not cleaning and drying your ring regularly. Debris, soap, and other materials can accumulate over time and irritate. The second problem is a more likely culprit if you’re worn your wedding ring for longer than a few months and haven’t had rashes before. To be safe, take your ring off and get tested for a metal allergy. Seek medical attention immediately if you have any signs of an anaphylactic reaction.
