Burns from my Apple Watch

I bought a brand new series 3 Apple Watch a few years ago. I’ve worn watches most of my life with no problem. Every time I wear this watch, I get a burn on my wrist. If I don’t wear it, it will go away. I can wear any other type of watch and I’m fine but I get burned every time I wear my Apple Watch. I can’t feel it as it’s burning but within hours it’s red and blistered and itches. I’ve seen others on here with the same issues. I keep the band loose in hopes that it would make a difference but it hasn’t. Has anyone found anything that helps?

So I’m allergic to Apple Watches? That makes no sense since I don’t have any issues with any other type of Watch. The blisters actually coincide with the placement of the sensors. You can’t tell in the picture but there’s a blister where each sensor is in the same pattern.

That looks like an allergy to me. You can become allergic to almost anything and it can just happen overnight . It could be an age thing ( you not the watch I mean)

If it's a burn you would definitely feel it burning so I don't know , the only thing that makes sense is an allergy
