My skin actually seems to corrode metal jewelry - I'd been wearing a bracelet every few days for about 2 months, and the metal finish is already coming off the beads (okay, the finish is not permanent, but most sources say that the finish should last for about a year). I got a pendant for Christmas, and it's already tarnished (and it smells like onions too). Maybe I'm not storing my jewelry properly, but I didn't think that even cheap metal will rust that quickly.
I'm now keeping all my jewelry sealed in plastic bags in a closed box, so the smell won't contaminate my newer jewelry, and the sunlight won't damage it.
I do have skin problems - I break out in hives for no reason at all. Right now I have about 30 hives on me, and I don't know what caused them to form. I've had rashes from touching certain things (strong scented detergent or cleaning materials), but the reaction is always local. The rash I have right now is spread out, on my feet, my legs, my stomach, and my arms.
