Metal allergy and macbook pro retina 15

Hi,i have metal allergy and also have a macbook pro retina 15. I noticed that my wirsts are damaged. I did some research to find out the reason of my wounds. After a while i realized that reason was the macbooks palmrest area. But i saw a message recommended not to use palmrest cover. (Do not use palm rest or keycap covers on a MacBook Pro with Retina display - Apple Support) What should i do?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), Mac OS X (10.4.2), null

There are tons of options on amazon and new egg and the likes. However, do make sure to get a 'skin', or 'guard', as opposed to a 'pad'. It sounds like you just need a thin layer on top of the metal and not a full padded wrist pad, which would interfere with the lid closing. A keyboard cover might be a bit harder to find. I've never used on and don't know the thickness of them compared to the macbooks. If worst comes to worse, a nice silicone pad works and you can just throw that into a bag separately with the mac.

Just my opinion. If it were me I'd sell my computer and get one that is more health friendly to me. Computers are just tools and they are not worth jeopardizing one's health. There are many brands of computers out in the wild, many/most of which can perform as well as Apple computers. If I was allergic to cats I would not own a cat. If I was allergic to chocolate I would not eat chocolate, regardless of how much I wanted to.
