Why do particular metals (not sure which kind) found in some jewelry/sunglasses sometimes cause a rash or reaction on your skin?
In: Chemistry
Whatever that material is, you have an allergy to it. Often times the culprit is nickel, which is used in really cheap but fancy looking jewelry. Try some of the hypoallergenic ones, see how those work for you, but it’s also entirely possible that you need a solid silver, gold, platinum, titanium, or surgical steel jewelry. On sunglasses it’s harder, but you can paint clear nail polish over the metal bits to give a buffer between it and your skin.
