Medical Conditions - Nickel Dermatitis

Nickel dermatitis is caused due to nickel allergy. It is a common cause of allergic contact dermatitis, where itchy rashes appear on the skin when it touches a harmless substance. It is usually caused due to earrings and other jewelry. There is no cure for this condition. But avoiding contact with the allergic agents helps in clearing rashes. Applying lotions and topical corticosteroid creams can reduce inflammation.
