im scared right now.... because.... yes i do have an allergy to nickel, and i literally ate chocolate all the time around when i got EC. what does this mean? what should I do? Nickel is what caused my eczema.... dont tell me it caused my exfoliative cheilitis too :/ infact, looking at that page.... soy sauce.... like everything i eat has soy sauce on it.... and i remember back 3-4 years ago, i was eating food and the soy sauce made my lips unbearable itchy.... what do i do, how long will it take for my ec to go away with this nickel diet.... everything i eat has soy sauce in it.... and i love my chocolate :(
