Allergic to your favorite earrings? Try these remedies

It can be extremely frustrating for people with pierced ears that are sensitive to nickel or have other ear allergy issues, but there are some things you can try to reduce the irritation. Obviously, buying hypo-allergenic earrings made of materials other than nickel is a good place to start, but you can't always choose how your favorite pair gets manufactured. Having a few tricks up your sleeve can come in handy and two ideas that work for many people include using clear nail polish to coat the earring stud, and coating the front and back of your earlobes with a liquid bandage before putting the earrings in.
