Help! Fingers allergy from wedding ring

Last week I put my engagement ring and wedding band on to go out and after about 15 minutes noticed that my skin was looking red and inflamed around them. I immediately took them off!
It's been 4/5 days now and I havnt put anything on it until yesterday when I started to moisturize it with aquaphor/pawpaw etc. At first it seemed to be working but this morning I woke up and it was a bit itchy and I made the mistake of lightly scratching it and now it's looking worse again!

Help? I've been married 10 years and my rings never did this before, they are platinum if that makes any difference! Also I'm 9 months post partum and started Flouxetine a month ago, could this be a side affect?!

Give them a good clean. Its probably soap/skin/dirt behind the stones. You might need to take them to a jeweller to have them professionally done. Also, make sure under your rings are completely dry after washing your hands as this can cause irritation too.
