Abstract：Nickel is one of the most common metal sensitizers,which is commonly found in the core and soil,water and air.Nickel is mainly used in the manufacture of stainless steel,which is also presented in most diets,and nickel-containing foods are considered to be the main source of nickel exposure in general population.Due to differences in the nickel content of soil in different areas,the content of nickel in different foods is also different.Systemic allergic reactions can be caused by eating nickel-containing diet in nickel-sensitive people,such as systemic contact dermatitis (SCD),manifested as pompholyx,generalized dermatitis,eczema etc.Diagnosis of nickel-induced SCD can be confirmed by history,clinical manifestations and skin patch test,if necessary,oral nickel for challenge will be carried out.Choosing a lownickel diet can reduce the daily total dietary intake of nickel,which can significantly alleviate or even cure systemic contact dermatitis.
