Joanna,

    It may be that you are reacting to any one of the elements in the
    alloy. People can have allergic reactions to palladium, silver,
    copper, and yes even gold and platinum as well as the more notorious
    nickel. Nickel is just the most common and well known one. Go to a
    dermatologist, have them look at the rash and to get tested for
    sensitivity to metals to find out what the problem element(s)
    is(are).
