Hi there,

Generally, after doing long hours of exercises you may get your skin contacts of many instruments made up of metals, nickle etc. You may be allergic to any of those metals of Gym equipments that triggers allergic response when you remain in contact with them for long hours. I would encourage you to meet a Skin Specialist who would like to conduct some of the allergic testing and will help you getting the final opinion.

I hope this helps.

Dr. Mathews
