Ok, I found a picture so that some of you know what I am talking about when it comes to nickel allergies and jewellery.
This picture is NOT of my finger, but looks JUST LIKE how my fingers used to.
My hands (anywhere that was exposed to the ring by rubbing) became very itchy, dry, flaky and I even had little small pus "acne" balls growing on my hands. It was very sick. The pus balls would break and it would be very painful.
I wasn't able to find a pic of my finger when it was all gross and stuff. I wish I had documented what had happened.
Anyway, you get the idea.
