Suggest Treatment For Allergy To Metal
Weeping skin. years ago a plastic part of my glasses broke at the ear peice. I endured wearing the glasses with the exposed metal frame despite clearly being allergic to the metal. Probably 3 years. I finally have plastic framed glasses but they seem to irritate this same area. As I speak my skin is weeping uncontrolably

Hi,
It can be due to your allergic to metal or even plastic when they come in direct contact with skin.
This weeping of skin might due to vitamin A deficiency.
The best way to cure allegy to any substance is to avoid its exposure rather taking seeking for treatment despite having good antiallergic drugs like steroids and antihistamines.
You can also take vitamin A supplement once daily and eat vitamin A riched fruits or vegetables.
If problem persists then contact your dermatologist first.
Thanks
