Metal allergy question

[Sirrahsim]

Oh I know it takes a long time to heal, I had an ear cartilage piercing that NEVER healed. I cleaned it dutifully and took care of the sucker but finally gave up after a couple years This isn't a healing problem as much as a skin irritation problem.

If you are going to try a different metal, try something from http://www.simplywhispers.com/ or some other earring where the posts are completely coated in 24k gold. A little more expensive, but gold (pure gold) is nonreactive for the human body.

Donna, "rose gold" has copper in it to give it that color, I bet that's what your body objects to!

Maybe there's a very small amount of nickel or other metal that you are allergic to in the alloy used to make your nose piercing. It depends how sensitive you are to what metals.
