Medical Any reaction between metal and sensitivity skin?

AI Thread Summary
Nickel, chromium, and cobalt are significant contributors to dermatitis, accounting for a notable percentage of cases. Nickel allergy is particularly common, with reactions potentially extending to other metals like cobalt and palladium. The exact cause of nickel sensitivity remains unclear, though genetic factors may play a role. The interaction between these metals and sensitive skin can lead to allergic reactions, primarily due to nickel ions triggering dermatitis. For further information on nickel allergy and its effects, resources such as the Mayo Clinic and relevant dermatological studies can provide valuable insights.

Three substances of nickel, chromium and cobalt, lead to dermatitis ratio accounted for 25 substances, the first, third and fourth place.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of reactions between metal and sensitivity skin?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

If you have nickel allergy, your body reacts to nickel and possibly to other metals, such as cobalt and palladium.

The cause of nickel allergy is unknown, but sensitivity to nickel may, in part, be inherited (genetic).

Ostensibly it is chemical of some kind.

Nickel dermatitis - http://www.jpad.org.pk/January-March-2011/1.Editorial%20Nickel%20dermatitis.pdf - cites nickel ions.

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
