Ask Anne: Relationship Questions
Archive · Read the Disclaimer · RSS Feed

Recently, I got married. Not long after putting on my wedding band, I noticed that my finger started getting these small sores, and it also became very dry and cracked. I went to the doctor, but he told me it was a metal allergy and gave me some cream. The problem I have with this diagnosis is that I never had this problem when I was just wearing my engagement ring. This are of the same set and the same metal, so why is it that it started breaking out only after I began wearing the second ring? Do you know what the problem is or how to treat it? Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
