Itchy Dermatitis
Itchy dermatitis is one of the common responses of the body to metallic fibers allergy. The skin exposed to the metal fiber may develop an intense itchiness accompanied by red, dry and scaly patches.
Hives (Urticaria)
The allergic reaction to metallic fibers can cause hives, a condition characterized by itchy, raised welts on the skin. These welts can vary in size and can appear and fade continuously as the reaction progresses.
Swelling (Edema)
Triggered by metallic fiber allergy, edema is a symptom where excessive fluid accumulates within the tissue leading to swelling. It's most commonly noted in the hands, arms, feet, legs, or around the eyes and face.
Eczema
Eczema is a symptom that could be a response to an allergic reaction to metallic fibers. It manifests as patches of skin becoming rough and inflamed, often with blisters that cause itching and bleeding.
Respiratory Problems
For some individuals, exposure to certain metallic fibers can lead to respiratory problems. These can range from shortness of breath, continuous coughing to wheezing, and difficulty in breathing.
Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction to metallic fibers. It's characterized by a rapid onset of symptoms including lightheadedness, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, nausea, and unconsciousness.
