Unexpected dangers from jewelry
What would you think if doctors warned you that the jewelry you wear every day might pose unexpected health risks?
Dermatitis
Women often wear rings and necklaces. When wearing these types of jewelry, the fingers and neck skin come into direct contact with the metal. Over time, some people may experience redness, tiny blister-like bumps, and peeling skin. More serious cases may develop hives.
Infection
Some girls have a habit of wearing earrings, tongue piercings, and nose piercings made of metals like gold, silver, or even stainless steel. Most of these pieces of jewelry are not properly sterilized or guaranteed safe for the skin. When worn, they can easily cause skin inflammation, leading to bacterial infections and even pus formation.
Causes deformities
The habit of wearing jewelry such as rings on fingers or toes for too long, even at night without taking them off, disrupts blood circulation. Over time, this can cause deformities in the fingers and toes, such as splaying out and being unable to close. In severe cases, it can even lead to necrosis of the toes due to poor blood flow. In some ethnic minority areas, we see many young women wearing excessively heavy jewelry that stretches their ears.
Causes cancer
Some types of jewelry, during the manufacturing process, often contain substances that are harmful to health. When worn, they can negatively affect blood circulation, bones, and the nervous system, and prolonged wear may even cause cancer.
People who develop skin conditions caused by jewelry are often referred to as having "jewelry allergy." This condition is primarily caused by an oversensitive skin reaction to contact with foreign compounds.
Not all jewelry is harmful to those who wear it. Gold, silver, or precious metal jewelry rarely causes allergies. Most allergies are caused by jewelry made from aluminum, chromium, zinc, or nickel…
You shouldn't wear jewelry for too long.
Wearing beautiful jewelry is fine, however, but we shouldn't wear it for too long or overnight, otherwise it can have serious health consequences. This can result in negative effects on the skin, blood circulation, and pain in the fingers and toes. When wearing jewelry, you shouldn't wear it too tightly, and you should regularly remove and store it properly. In particular, you should never wear earrings or necklaces overnight.
