Then about 5 years ago she got a new regular doctor who checked her for thyroid problems due to some other symptoms she was having. Once she got on the thyroid medicine her hands started to clear up... We also knew many years ago for sure that she was allergic to metal - which included gold. She would break out with the small blister rash even if she wore a watch that had a small metal buckle on the band. The same type of hand rash would also appear where the metal would touch her skin in other places on her body. She even had to quit wearing jeans when she was younger because of the metal button on the jeans because she would break out in the areas where the metal buttons and rivets would touch her skin.
Since the she started the thyroid medicine she can now wear a watch with a metal buckle on it without breaking out. She could probably wear jewelry again but she has not really tried as she lost the interest in jewelry some 25+ years ago when it the outbreaks started.
Thank you! I have had it checked in the past, but not in the last three years. I’m also going to look it up to see if it can cause any of the other myriad of symptoms I have.
