do you ever take off your.....

do you ever take off your.....

e-ring??

I rarely take it off, sleep in it, shower with it and only really take it off to put lotion on. So, I've been noticing that the skin on my pinky finger that always rubs against the diamonds in my e-ring is getting a little rougher and is losing sensitivity!!! What should I do? I mean I dont want to develop a nasty callous in a few years!!! Has this happened to anyone else?

I never take mine off either but I haven't had that problem maybe you should take it off when you sleep to give it a little break and put a lot of lotion on that area..sorry I'm not much help but good luck!!

No, I never take it off. Only to put lotion on like you mentioned.

I take mine off to sleep, shower, go to the gym, play volleyball, sports, etc..

My pinky rubs against it too, I just don't pay attention to it - no one notices the rough, dry spot but me.

Re: do you ever take off your.....

i have a solitaire so nothing really rubs on my other fingers - and i always take my ring off to cook, clean, go the gym, shower, sleep, etc. it already has so many scratches in the platinum can't imagine what it would look like if i never took it off!

I used to never take it off, but now I take it off to sleep and shower... I have noticed the same thing as you bc I have a diamond band, I have been using cortizone cream on it and that has been working!

Re: do you ever take off your.....

I take mine off to shower, lotion, rock climbing (!), washing dishes, cooking (dirty cooking, like chicken and stuff!)....I wear it sleeping though. my side stones are channel-set though, so I don't really have a problem with it rubbing....

Re: do you ever take off your.....

I take it off as soon as I get home every day, along with my watch, my shoes, my socks, etc.

Re: do you ever take off your.....

yes.. I take it off when I go to sleep becaue threads can get caught in it and loosen the diamond.. I also dont shower wtih it becuase i am terrified that it will fall off!

I don't wear on the day I have to waitress, that means I get to wear it like 4 days a week, it's pathetic! I want to enjoy if!

What a coincidence that you posted this! I wear my ring all the time, I only take it off to shower (~ 50% of the time) and occasionally if I put on lotion -- usually i just put the lotion on around it.

However, my right hand ring is a gemstone ring with blue topaz and peridot side stones and it's wayyyyyy too big for my finger. I have a guard on it but it's still huge on me. Now that it's cold and my finger is even smaller it would rub against my finger and i now have a small callus there! I stopped wearing that ring yesterday so hopefully the callus will go away, and I plan to get it resized when I'm back in NY in a few weeks. I'm not hopeful though, I have a callus from holding my pencil too low down and even after years of mainly using a computer it's still there
