Many people have multiple body piercings and can be exposed to metals such as nickel, cadmium, chromium, copper, and cobalt.  One of the most common causes of rashes from jewelry is a nickel allergy.  Nickel is often mixed with other metals to create alloys used in jewelry. When it comes in contact with the skin, it can trigger an allergic reaction, known as allergic contact dermatitis, resulting in a red, itchy rash, blisters, or even swelling. Some people might be allergic to other metals used in jewelry, such as cobalt or chromium, though this is less common than nickel allergy. The rash is most often in the area of...

By Dr. Nancy A. Palermo, MD Edited by: Thrive Carolinas A recent landmark study published in BMJ Oncology by researchers from the University of Edinburgh examined the incidence of 29 cancers in individuals aged 14 to 49 across 200 countries over a 30-year period. The findings were alarming: the incidence of cancers in those under 50 rose by 79%, accounting for over 3.26 million cases.

Our genes haven't changed in the last 30 years, but our environment has—highlighting the need for lifestyle changes to address this growing issue. The...
