What Causes Outbreak Of Red Rashes Along With Blisters On Using Finger Rings?

I have been wearing my engagement and wedding ring for 2 years (married), engagement I wore for a year and a half earlier also, but I burnt my left hand really bad with olive oil, and since then I havent been able to wear my rings without getting an itchy red rash, that turns into like blisters, and really sore - looks peeling and still red and sore right now. I ve had it before, took off my rings, put hydrocotisone cream, and it clears up - I wait an extra week for it to all be clear and then put my rings on and it happens again. Ive even changed my rings to my opposite hand, and this morning, there is that faint line of red lumps, and i know it s going to do the same thing.... What can I do ?! Please help ...

Hello

The symptoms seem to be related to dermatitis. I suggest to avoid contact with allergens that can trigger the symptoms. I also suggest using Calamine lotion for local application. I recommend using antihistamine such as Cetirizine to relieve the symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
