Curex does not treat this allergen

One of the common symptoms is intense itching on the part of the skin that comes in contact with the jewelry. This can become increasingly severe if the jewelry is continuously worn.
Coming in contact with allergenic metals in jewelry can cause the skin to turn red, often accompanied by a rash. This symptom often appears at the site where the jewelry touches the skin.
In severe reactions, blisters or sores might form on the skin where the jewelry rests. These can be painful and if untreated, could become infected.
Dry, flaky patches of skin can develop at the point of contact. This is often a result of the skin's reaction to the metal in the jewelry.
Swelling is a typical symptom of an allergic reaction, and this is also the case with jewelry allergies. The areas around the jewelry might swell and feel tender to the touch.
Weeping eczema is a severe symptom where the skin becomes red, inflamed, and starts to ooze a clear or yellowish liquid. This usually happens when the skin’s reaction to the allergen becomes intense.

Identify Plated Jewelry Allergy Symptoms
Track Your Reactions
In order to decipher whether your symptoms are specifically due to plated jewelry, try to keep track of when these issues arise. If symptoms consistently come up after wearing certain pieces of jewelry, it’s likely that they’re the cause. However, if symptoms persist even without the jewelry, other allergies or skin conditions may be the issue. Do a patch test by wearing different types of jewelry (gold, silver, plated) and see if specific types cause a reaction.
Consult With a Dermatologist
Get a diagnosis confirmed by consulting with a dermatologist who specializes in allergies. They can conduct tests to pinpoint the exact allergen. Nickel is one of the most common allergens found in jewelry, and a majority of dermatologists can test for this.

When buying plated jewelry, opt for hypoallergenic materials such as titanium, stainless steel, and sterling silver. These are less likely to cause an allergic reaction as they contain little to no nickel, the most common cause of metal allergies.
Very affordable plated jewelry is more likely to contain larger amounts of allergenic metals such as nickel. Invest in higher quality plated jewelry to reduce the risk of skin irritation and allergies.
If you already have plated jewelry but are worried about potential reactions, apply a layer of clear nail polish to the parts of the jewelry that come into contact with your skin. This creates a barrier between the metal and your skin, reducing the likelihood of an allergic reaction.
Before wearing new plated jewelry for prolonged periods, perform a patch test. Wear the piece for a short amount of time and check your skin for any signs of reaction. If any redness or irritation appears, it's better to avoid wearing that jewel to prevent any allergic reactions.

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.
