Gold Sodium Thiosulfate
What is it?
Gold sodium thiosulfate is a metal used primarily in jewelry, dental work, and in gold plating.
How can I avoid it?
Individuals who are allergic to gold should be able to avoid this metal. This may require not wearing gold jewelry, removing gold dental prostheses, or not receiving gold-based medicines. Just because you have a positive patch test reaction to this version of gold, does not necessarily mean it is the cause of your skin irritation. A discussion with your dermatologist is needed to determine the reaction’s relevance to your dermatitis.
