One of the key symptoms of a Chrome allergy is the development of a skin rash. This could appear as redness, inflammation or itching on the skin's surface following contact with chrome. The affected area may be sore and become increasingly uncomfortable over time.
Swelling is another common symptom of chrome allergy. This may develop in the form of hives or swelling on the skin's surface, especially around the area which came in contact with chrome. The swelling can cause discomfort and may be accompanied by other symptoms like redness and itchiness.
In severe cases of chrome allergy, blisters filled with fluid may develop on the skin. These blisters can be painful and may increase the risk of secondary skin infections if they burst and are not treated appropriately.
If chrome particles are inhaled, an individual may experience difficulty breathing. This could manifest as shortness of breath, tightness in the chest or even wheezing. Medical attention should be sought immediately if these symptoms are experienced.
Some individuals with a chrome allergy may experience watery eyes. This could be due to an allergic reaction causing inflammation and irritation in the eyes. Other related symptoms might include redness, itching or a burning sensation in the eyes.
Nasal congestion could also be a symptom of chrome allergy, particularly if chrome dust or particles have been inhaled. Symptoms might include a runny or blocked nose, sneezing and an itchy or sore throat.
Recognize your symptoms?

Recognizing if you have a Chrome allergy may involve noting the typical symptoms after contact with items containing chrome. The following steps will aid in the identification process.
Understand Skin Reactions
Identify Sources of Chrome Exposure
Consult a Physician
If you suspect you have an allergy to chrome due to a reaction or repeated reactions after exposure, it is important to seek medical help. A dermatologist or allergist will be able to perform patch tests to confirm if you have a chrome allergy.

Avoiding direct touch with chrome or chrome-finished materials could significantly reduce the risk of chrome allergy. This can be done by using gloves when handling such items or by choosing items without chrome finish during purchase.
There are barrier creams available that can be applied to the skin to prevent direct contact with allergens. Applying these creams before touching anything made of chrome can help to reduce the risk of triggering an allergic reaction.
Many pieces of jewelry contain chrome. Therefore, if you have a chrome allergy, it's important to choose hypoallergenic jewelry. Hypoallergenic jewelry is made from materials that are less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
Some foods are high in chromium, which can cause a chrome allergy to flare up. If you are sensitized from dietary chromium, it's best to limit your intake of high-chromium foods like whole grains, fresh vegetables, and meats.

It’s a physician-prescribed, custom-compounded formula designed to target all your nasal symptoms at once — congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing, and more.

Formulated by doctors and pharmacologists and backed by clinical research, Quickie combines five powerful ingredients into one easy spray.

Typical prescription may include the following ingredients: Azelastine HCL 0.15%, Mometasone Furoate 0.05%, Oxymetazoline HCL 0.0125%, Ipratroprium 0.06%, Sodium Hyaluronate 0.04%.
Straight to the source. That’s Curex


Quickie is a compounded prescription medication, prepared by a licensed pharmacy. It is not reviewed or approved by the FDA. It is prepared based on your provider’s evaluation of your symptoms and needs. Individual results may vary.

Lauren S.
No longer having to go the doctor's office a few times a week for painful shots.
Tony P.
I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.

Robert S.
The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.
Janie L.
My seasonal allergies were much less severe than years prior. Most importantly, the convenience of taking drops in my own home is unbeatable.

Most patients feel relief within 15 minutes. We have both short-term relief ingredients as well as longer-term relief to keep you feeling better, longer. Some say it’s like turning off their allergies.
Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.
No, this formula uses a microdose of oxymetazoline, balanced with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the risk of rebound congestion. Clinical studies over the last decade show that when oxymetazoline is combined with a corticosteroid, it can be used safely over the long term without causing rebound symptoms.
Quickie Spray combines up to five prescription-strength ingredients into a single, personalized formula — targeting multiple symptoms like congestion, post-nasal drip, and inflammation. OTC sprays typically address just one symptom and lack the synergy of a customized blend.
Some ingredients like azelastine may cause a slight taste, but many patients find it milder than traditional OTC sprays. Proper spray technique (head forward, not tilted back) helps minimize drip.We also offer an alternative formulation with olopatadine, which has a gentler taste profile and may be preferred by taste-sensitive patients.
Quickie is designed to replace most other allergy medications. But it is designed to compliment allergy immunotherapy for long-term relief. If you’re currently taking other antihistamines or nasal sprays, tell your Curex provider, so we can adjust your formula to avoid overlap or interactions.
No, Quickie is a personalized compounded prescription prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies based on your doctor’s evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as commercial products, but they are regulated under federal and state pharmacy laws.
Possible side effects include nasal dryness, mild irritation, or occasional nosebleeds. These are typically mild and manageable. Let your Curex provider know about any bothersome or serious effects, so we can fine-tune your prescription if needed.
Quickie is safe for daily use, especially during the first 3–6 months of allergy immunotherapy, when symptoms are still active. Your Curex provider may adjust your dose or frequency as your immune system builds tolerance.
Quickie is designed to be non-sedating, so you can use it before work, school, or exercise without feeling groggy or foggy. In rare cases where drowsiness is reported, let your Curex provider know—we can easily adjust the formula to better suit your needs.
Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.
Follow the instructions from your Curex provider.Most patients are advised to use one spray per nostril, twice daily — morning and evening — for consistent relief.
