Question 1

Can rubbing a stye with a gold wedding ring actually work?

It will definitely contaminate the ring with the germs.  It will do nothing for the stye.  If you want to get rid of the stye, apply a warm wet washclothe at least four times per day.

Question 2

Is it safe to wear a wedding ring made out of tungsten carbide everyday for years?

Accepted Answer

Likely no problem, unless you have an allergic dermatitis to the metal. If concerned, see the Dermatologist for advice and possibly a skin test. I would be sure that it fits properly and is highly polished. Good Luck.

Question 3

Why would my wedding rings that i have been wearing 40 years suddenly turn my fingers black?

Silver rings can tarnish, especially in the presence of increased amounts of sweat, or if any protective coating has worn off.

Question 4

What an i do to prevent a rash caused by my platinum wedding ring?

Many times people don't take off their rings when they wash their hands.  Soap gets caught underneath it and causes an irritation leading to rash.  Most people are not allergic to platinum.

Good luck!

Question 6

Possible to develop eczema from wedding rings? have two stripes of red, bumpy skiin where my rings usually are, itches a lot.

Accepted Answer

An allergic reaction to your wedding ring, a condition officially known as wedding ring dermatitis, causes the skin underneath to become red, itchy and dry. While the rash may be a true allergy to platinum, it can also be an allergic reaction to nickel contained in the ring or a skin irritation from trapped residue between the ring and the skin. A dermatologist help determine the cause.

Accepted Answer

I'm sure you've tried a lubricant.  The more you tug at it, the more swollen your finger is going to get, and the more impossible it will be to remove.

You have to go to the er and have them cut it off before it cuts off the circulation to your finger.  They will have the right instrument to safely and painlessly cut it off.  Don't wait.  Go now.

Good luck!

Question 8

My wedding ring finger hurts and i can't get it off?

Accepted Answer

Have you tried lubricating it? If you still can't get it off, an urgent care center should be able to cut it off.

Question 9

Woke up & my hands swelled & i haven't left my house in 2 days only my hands, feel swollen & i had to take my wedding ring off. what is it? no bites.

Accepted Answer

Swelling in your hands can occur for many reasons. Positioning of your arms overnight can cause a decrease in circulation, not allowing the blood to move as well. Salt or monosodium glutamate in food can cause fluid retention and swelling. Certain medications can cause swelling, such as anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen. If the swelling does not improve in a day or 2, I suggest being seen.

Question 10

My ring finger where i have my wedding band i have a rush is it cause from the heat i had my wedding band since april the rush just started 2 week ago?

Accepted Answer

Wedding ring rash is most commonly caused by either an actual allergy to the nickel component of the ring itself or an irritation from the buildup of soap and/or debris under the ring. Often the rash may occur even after many years of wearing the same ring without any problems.
