Answers:
I had that same problem--it was HORRIBLE.

I didn't have it for most of my life, but then, when my immune system got a bit hyperactive and wacky, I started having that problem.

Try a PLASTIC watch--one of those simple ones, or one that is encased for, oh, say, skin diving.

I think the problem's subsided with me, but I simply gave up on wearing a watch back then (I strapped the thing to my pocketbook handle), and never went back to it!Health Question & Answer

I had the problem really bad as a teenager and now it is coming back in my 40's. Must have a liitle to do with hormone changes in the body. I was allergic to 14 karat gold. I did find out that I can wear 10 karat with no problem. You might try that route. I also wear sterling silver and find that the sensitive earrings you buy at Walmart work well.Health Question & Answer

When I got my ears pierced as a kid I had reactions to nickle cheapo earrings. But I have several piercings now, I just cant wear the cheapo stuff. also I used to wear this necklace that was my grandmas...a way old piece of jewelry and everytime I wore it I would break out in a big blotchy red ugly rash all across my chest where it was sitting and up around me neck!! I dont know what kind of metal that one is..Health Question & Answer

I'm allergic to gold. It gives me a horrid rash, white or yellow. Its really sad. And it made it so hard to find a wedding ring, I never even got an engagement ring because all I could find (and afford) was gold. Try getting a plastic sports watch, it may not look classy, but it wouldn't give you a rash. also, sterling silver watches aren't to expensive. Health Question & Answer
