    Have you tried a stitched leather one (has to be stitched otherwise it may have glues which could cause a reaction). It may just be due to excess sweating under the belt, there isnt a lot you can do to help that apart from moving the belt around when you can (which might be difficult!).

    You shouldn't be having a problem with a belt unless you are wearing it against the skin. More likely you are reacting to the detergent you wash your pants with, or the material your pants are made from. Try a different detergent for washing your clothing and make sure you rinse them really well - some washers have a double rinse option, use it if you have it. There are really mild detergents that you can find for washing baby clothes, and some that are hypo-allergenic. Try some of these options and you'll probably have better luck.

    I guess it's the kind that gives you little bubbles and you scratch even at nights? Get yourself tested for allergic reactions. There are buttons and belt buckles made of some kind of cheap metal. Be warned: reactions like this can spread up to your throat! See a doctor for a test. They will give you a cream for that.

    Ur possibly allergic to the metal, try wearing the belt on your jeans instead of letting it touch your skin

    if its the metal bit of the belt you mite be having a reaction to the nickel in it it happens to me all the time try putting clear nail varnish on the part that that touches your ski.

    If it is just in the front, you might be allergic to the Nickel in the buckel. That is very common.
