I have been wearing my I watch for over 1 year and now have a circular rash under watch body. Anyone with suggestions of how to treat? cortisone and lotrimin are not working

Hi

If redness, swelling, itchiness or any other irritation or discomfort is experienced on your skin around or beneath your Apple Watch or band, then Apple recommends that you remove your Apple Watch and consult a doctor / physician before wearing it again.

Apple advises that skin reactions can be a result of various causes including:

• Allergies (eg to nickel).
• Extended exposure to irritants (eg soap or sweat).
• Environmental factors.
• Wearing the band too tightly or too loosely.

More information, including tips from Apple:

• Cleaning and wearing Apple Watch - Apple Support

  Includes "Tips to avoid skin irritation, or if you have allergies or skin sensitivities".

• Wearing your Apple Watch - Apple Support
• See under "Skin Sensitivities":

  Important safety information

That question would be best asked of your doctor.

You probably have a nickel allergy that you were not aware of. Check with your doctor or an allergist.

Hi

See your Doctor wear watch on other arm but if rash starts do not wear.

Cheers
