    I have a similar intermittent problem with my 6mm-wide 18ct yellow
    gold wedding ring (which I have worn for over 30 years). The exact
    cause is unknown, but it may be a speck of something, maybe even
    moisture, that gets trapped under my ring and a very itchy red
    blister develops. The only answer is to leave my ring off until it
    has completely settled down, using hydrocortisone cream to help it
    heal. If I don't leave my ring off then the blisters can spread right
    round my finger.
