Unknown infection
by KimberlyX, Feb 21, 2009 07:55PM
A few months ago i noticed several small bumps on my left wrist where i usually wear my bracelet. These bumps were raised, itchy, and had a dark center. I tried squeezing them not knowing what they were and it looked like they got infected because it formed a larger rash with what looks like smaller bumps within the rash. this spread to my right wrist and then onto the side of my neck. right now the rash on my left wrist is still there, the one on my right wrist is almost gone, and the rash on my neck has gotten bigger, and spread to both sides of my neck..
These rashes are very itchy, expecially when irritated. They almost seemed to go away once, but then came back because they had gotten irritated from a necklace i had worn. Please help identify this rash.

This could be irritant contact dermatitis with your jewelry. The most common substance is nickel or any metal with silver in color which may have nickel in it. It is important that you avoid this irritant. The rash usually heals once the irritant is removed. Irritant dermatitis is usually the result of the cumulative effect of multiple irritants. If it persists, have this evaluated by your doctor. A patch test may be done to rule out allergic contact dermatitis. Take care and regards.
