Type II Smudge Reaction, also known as Jewelry Related Contact Dermatitis or Black Dermagraphism, is an abnormal condition or color of the skin that comes in contact with fine jewelry. Exact causes of the Smudge Reaction are unknown, though researchers have identified possible factors |
such as acidity, sodium intake, perspiration, stress, and individual body chemistry. The Smudge Reaction is an unpredictable enigma, as it does not affect all jewelry wearers and appears inconsistently for others who are affected. Although smudge is not caused by any specific type or |
grade of metal, gold and sterling silver are the most frequently associated materials, and even platinum and stainless steel can be irritants. Regardless of its causes, this “skin tarnish” is an undesirable reaction for any jewelry lover. |
