A member asked:
Is it possible to be allergic to stainless steel earrings?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Nickel or chromium are metals that are often "mixed" with stainless steel to give it more durability, or shine, or strength. Thus, if one is allergic to nickel or chromium, they can have a reaction to stainless steel earrings.
