So, about two months after I got married, my ring finger started swelling and turning red with itching. I associated it with vodka consumption and thought nothing of it.
Since my wedding, I have gained about 10 pounds (working it off...like 5 more to go...sheesh) so I also assumed that had something to do with it (my husband has gain THIRTY pounds and his ring still fits...life is so unfair).
So, as I have been working out, my ring has been fitting better, I have been avoiding vodka.
But - my left ring finger continues to get very hot, itchy, and rashy with little blisters on it when I wear my ring. I begin to fear I have an allergy. I tell my husband and of course he is furious because the cost of the ring is atrocious. So, I kind of forget about it, but lately it has been fitting, but alas very itchy and gross. I haven't worn my ring since like Friday because I was doing yardwork, and while it has fit every morning, each time I slide it on, I instantly can feel it getting tight on my finger and irritating.
This morning after the gym, I look down and see a small blister on the side of my finger. MOTHERFUCKER. And it is slighty itchy - like - my finger itches INSIDE.
At work I decide to Google "effing platinum allergy?" and sure enough...HOARDES of people with the same exact symptoms as mee. So I am going to...let me find the paper...
1. Soak my rings overnight in 2-parts distilled white vinegar, 1-part hydrogen peroxide.
2. Boil my rings for 15 minutes
3. Apply an anti-fungal cream to my finger
According to the website I was on, some people were fine with just the soak or just the soak and boil, or all three. This better fucking work. I love my rings and am so effing annoyed that I can't wear them!
