People may become sensitized to certain metals by skin contact, usually by wearing or holding consumer products (including non-metal products, like textiles and leather treated with metals), or sometimes after exposure at work. Contact with damaged skin makes sensitization more likely. Medical implants may also cause allergic reactions.
Aluminum compounds: Some individuals may be sensitive to aluminum-based antiperspirants, which are known for blocking sweat glands. This may lead to breakouts. This may lead to breakouts.
Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) is the embrittlement caused by liquid metals. Metal-induced embrittlement (MIE) is the embrittlement caused by diffusion of atoms of metal, either solid or liquid, into the material. For example, cadmium coating on high-strength steel, which was originally done to prevent corrosion.
Argyria or argyrosis is a condition caused by excessive exposure to chemical compounds of the element silver, or silver dust. [1] The most dramatic symptom of argyria is that the skin turns blue or blue-gray, and is usually most prominent in sun-exposed areas of the skin.

The addition of third elements to the liquid metal may increase or decrease the embrittlement and alter the temperature region over which embrittlement is seen. Metal combinations which form intermetallic compounds do not cause LME. There are a wide variety of LME couples. [3] Most technologically important are the LME of aluminum and steel alloys.
Urushiol / ʊ ˈ r uː ʃ i. ɒ l / is an oily mixture of organic compounds with allergenic properties found in plants of the family Anacardiaceae, especially Toxicodendron spp. (e.g., poison oak, Chinese lacquer tree, poison ivy, poison sumac), Comocladia spp. (maidenplums), Metopium spp.
Scientists are still unraveling the mystery of why skin conditions like eczema cause people to itch. One known cause is inflammation, which gets worse as people scratch and their skin becomes damaged.
