Suggest Treatment For Itchy Bumps On Chest After Nickel In Heart Surgery
I had heart surgery last year and they left the metal around my ribs it has nickel in it and I am allergic to nickel and they knew it. I now have itchy bumps on my chest which is moving up my neck to my head. Do you think if I have it out this will stop?
