Chromium allergy symptoms

SO WHAT ARE CHROMIUM ALLERGY SYMPTOMS ?

In this article, we will focus on two types of allergy to Chromium and their symptoms

1.Allergic contact dermatitis

Chromium allergy is a fairly common cause of allergic contact dermatitis.

Dermatitis is a skin disorder characterised by a local inflammatory response, generally associated with allergic responses.

Someone with Chromium allergy will often have a localised skin reaction following exposure to objects containing this allergen.

Common symptoms are: dryer and warmer skin serious rash or bumps on the skin harsh itching severe redness or discolored skin fluid-filled blisters in severe cases leading to crusts and scales

Examples of allergic contact dermatitis to Chromium: Typical examples include local redness and rashes on the hands when wearing leather gloves or shoes. The rash usually lasts for a few weeks and can be painful.

2. Generalised Metal Allergy and Chromium food allergy

This is much less common and it can be due, for instance, to: orthodontic braces tongue piercings foods containing high amounts of Chromium, Nickel.

Indeed, eating food with high concentrations of Chromium or Nickel can also trigger an immune response and a skin irritation.

Common symptoms are: rash all over your body skin irritation

3. What products should you use if you are suffering from contact allergy to Chromium?

If your skin reacts to the above items, and if you have been diagnosed to be allergic to Chromium (or Cobalt, or Nickel), you may use Skintifique's Protective Cream or, for a full routine, the Nickel Allergy Relief Pack. 

Thanks to the exclusive CapturifiqueTM technology, the Protective Cream and the Moisturizing Lotion can trap Chromium and other metal allergens at the surface of the skin and prevent them from entering into the skin; consequently, they prevent or limit the skin break-out and rashes, even when the skin has been in contact with items that contain the metal allergens.
