When your skin comes into contact with items containing nickel, you may develop an itchy, red rash. Small bumps may appear, and they may blister and drain fluid if the reaction is severe.
Areas of skin that have been in contact with nickel might change colour, becoming red or pigmented and stained. This discolouration might also be accompanied by dry patches.
Itching is a common symptom of a nickel allergy. The affected area may itch persistently, causing discomfort. Itching usually occurs at the site of contact with nickel.
In response to nickel exposure, the skin may become dry and can even crack as a result. The skin may also look rough and scaly.
In severe cases of nickel allergy, blisters may form on the skin. These blisters may burst, causing a clear or yellowish fluid to drain.
The skin may swell in the area of contact with nickel. This is typically associated with severe allergic reactions and may cause mild to severe discomfort.
Recognize your symptoms?

Recognizing if you have a Nickel allergy involves distinguishing the common symptoms of nickel allergies and then identifying contact with nickel. Here is a step-by-step guide that can assist you.
Know the Symptoms
Identify Contact With Nickel
If the above symptoms persist after coming in contact with objects made from nickel, there is a considerable possibility that you might have nickel allergy. However, it's always a good idea to consult with a doctor or allergist to confirm. They may conduct a patch test to confirm whether you have an allergy to nickel.
Note: Remember that even if you are allergic to nickel, you can live a comfortable life by making small changes in your lifestyle like avoiding nickel-made objects or wearing nickel-free jewelry.

When purchasing jewelry, opt for pieces clearly labeled as nickel-free or hypoallergenic. Consider materials like stainless steel, titanium, 18k gold, or sterling silver which typically do not contain nickel. Also, be cautious with metal eyeglass frames and belt buckles which can also contain nickel.
Minimize direct skin contact with nickel as much as possible. This could be through everyday items like keys or coins which may contain traces of nickel. Wearing gloves, particularly while doing housework or gardening, can help provide a barrier.
Almost any product that is in contact with your skin for extended periods can potentially contain nickel. This includes clothing fasteners, hairpins, and certain cosmetics. Always check the product labels to ensure they are nickel-free.
To further minimize skin exposure to nickel, consider using barrier creams. These lotions can provide a protective layer on your skin's surface to prevent nickel from penetrating the skin. They can be particularly useful if your job or lifestyle means frequent exposure to nickel.

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.
