Nickel Allergy Reaction on the Skin of the Back

Nickel allergy reaction on the skin of the back. The metal contact had been eliminated one month earlier, but the skin reaction with secondary erosion from scratching of the itching dermatitis still remained. Earrings containing nickel-releasing metal represent the greatest risk as regards nickel allergy, especially those for pierced ears.
