The reaction, usually to nickel, is fairly common. But there is hope...
Fidelity Denim owner Jason Trotzuk has introduced gold plating. “Gold is the least allergy-causing metal, since spring 2006, all rivets and buttons on Fidelity jeans will be coated with 24-karat gold,” explains Jason. If you aren’t planning to buy new jeans right away, but want to solve your rash problem, try coating the rivets with clear nail polish. This creates a protective layer between the nickel and your skin that will last for approximately 10 washes.
