8 to 10 years ago I struggled with an itchy rash allergy-type reaction to nickle in foods. I had to give up Chocolate and a lot of my other favorite foods. Nickle is in a lot of foods. Even processing machinery can leave trace amounts of nickle in things like flour. I switched from ordinary bread to ones made with stone-ground whole wheat. Most people can eliminate excess nickel in their systems naturally, but it can cause problems for some of us.

I finally beat it by taking flax seed oil supplements along with vitamin b6 and zinc. I don't do the flax seed oil regularly anymore, but I keep up with the B6 and zinc. If I forget for a long time I might start to get a small re-occurrence of the itchy rash. I know it sounds like voodoo, but it works for me.

Thank you, I'll keep flax seed oil, zinc and B6 on my mind.

Stress can make any allergy more reactive. There's no simple answer for stress relief and it's highly individual. I can say that when I am able to reduce negative stress that a lot of my allergy symptoms go away.

I had a full body rash as a reaction to taking a medication just once. It took 6 months for it to go away. It can be really hard to know what you are / aren't doing is actually helping your rash or not. If you do have a systemic allergy, antihistimines do help and not all of them are the same. There's differences between sudafed, claritin, zytac. Allergies are a pain.

I have a Nickel allergy and had it since I was a teenager. It's not a big deal unless the Nickel is making contact for long periods of time
and yes I will get a rash where the Nickel is touching.

Metal tabs on the inside of jeans will give me a rash during humid weather faster than normal.

A lot of people have it and don't know it...more popular than you think.
