Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
After photo shoots wearing metal chains, I suffer from persistent itching on my neck for hours. How can I solve this discomfort as a jewelry model?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It sounds like you may be experiencing allergic contact dermatitis from the metal chains. Unfortunately, leaving your job might be the only surefire solution. However, using a steroid cream before and after sessions can help alleviate symptoms, though it may not provide complete relief. If there's eczema, using the cream regularly for 10 days may be beneficial.
Thanks
