So, is it true that the use of gold jewelry for babies will result in the transfer of gold particles into their bodies?

According to turnbackhoax, Dr. dr. I Gusti Nyoman Darmaputra, SpKK, FINSDV from DNI Skin Centre denies this claim.

According to him, the medical world does not recognize the phenomenon of gold migration. What happens is that some people may have an allergy, but it is not due to a buildup of gold in the blood.

“Generally, solid gold does not easily enter and be absorbed by the skin because its particles are large. This condition applies to both baby and adult skin, although the water content in baby's skin is higher than in adults,” he explained.

Dr. dr. Raendi Rayendra, SpKK, M.Kes, a Specialist in Skin and Genitalia, expressed a similar opinion.

He stated that gold is a noble metal with stable atomic structure, so gold particles cannot enter the bloodstream.

“Gold is the least likely metal to cause allergic contact dermatitis. Only one to two percent can cause allergic contact dermatitis, but it cannot enter the blood,” he explained.
