Contact dermatitis: A common presentation of nickel allergic contact dermatitis is the formation of a rash that is slightly raised, itchy, patch located on the mid-lower abdomen where the belt buckle/snaps are located. Other potential causes could include insect bite or superficial fungal infection called ringworm. An allergist or dermatologist could help make the diagnosis.
