I was surprised when I developed an allergy to white gold.  My jeweler said
that about 5% of people develop a sensitivity to the nickel in the white
gold alloy.  In my case, it was a white gold pair of earrings that set it
off.  I wore them for several weeks without removing them, and that seems to
have precipitated the allergy.   Now that I have the sensitivity, wearing
white gold for more than a few hours causes my skin touching the white gold
to start to weep and peel off.

I'm glad my rings are platinum rather than white gold.

Good luck,
