I might have developed an allergy
I've recently observed that my left earlobe itches every time a wear artificial jewellery. I've been wearing them all my life and this has never happened before. I even found some small rashes around my chin which are itchy. I did eat some almonds and chocolates earlier (which are supposed to be high on nickel). Is it possible that I've developed an allergy to nickel?
