I had a strong reaction to nickel for a patch test. i get rashes and itch all over my legs, arms, back and not where watches etc touch my skin. why?

Nickel Allergy: Are you sure there is nickel in your watch/jewelry? Stainless steel (back of many watches) contains no nickel, and should not cause you a problem. Some jewelry is purposely made without nickel these days also.

cannot be sure: It is possible that the back of your watch is made of stainless steel and that is why you are not reacting to it.
