@dr.heatherderm: I actually figured out that applying a pimple patch to cover the metal snap on the band prevents this rash from happening. Unfortunately, I sweated off the pimple patch leaving my skin exposed to the snap and didn't realize until I developed another allergic rash. #dermatologist #allergic #allergicreaction #skinallergy #allergiccontactdermatitis #dermdocheather #drheatherderm
I have a nickel allergy and mine dose the same thing I just put a sticker over the little metal part

I think I’m allergic to the silicone. But I’ve looked at pictures of people who got contact dermatitis from their Garmin watches and its exactly what my rash looks like

My brother in law is allergic to metal, he paints the back of watches/metal with nail polish so it doesn't touch his skin

The silicone Solo Loop bands are a game changer, they have no clasp, are really secure, and comfortable. 😃

I've been switching my watch from left to right each month to give my skin time to recover under the watch. This has helped so much. I'm hyper mobile so my skin can get funky with something on all the time.

They have so many loop bands that you can adjust and you just slide it over your wrist!

Nylon Velcro bands are the way to go! easy to clean and better ventilation to your skin. I can’t wear a silicone band for more than a week at a time

I just wear a Velcro band because it’s the only type of band that doesn’t make me itch

Clear nail polish will help with that! People have been doing it for years on jean buttons.

I’m starting to think I’ll need to buy a stainless steel watch band, as stainless steel and gold are the only metals that I’m not allergic to😭

wearing fake gold stainless steel jewelry can cause allergies, even wearing fake gold earrings can cause pus to develop.
