A member asked:

What should i do about being allergic to both silver and gold earrings?

Dr. Al Hegab answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Avoid wearing them: usually it is the other metal in the alloy, not the silver or the gold, the more pure the alloy, i.e. near 90% or above, of the noble metal, the less or no reaction
