Stainless allergy?

I used to have a PA years ago.  It was not a big one and I liked how it looked.  But I took it out because even though it had healed,  my penis seemed to always be sore at the piercing and a few days after I took it out, it was fine.  I've since read that some people have allergies to stainless steel.  Has anyone else ever had a similar problem?

    It could be the quality of the steel.  A lot of people have a nickel allergy and the cheaper steel has a higher quantity of that metal.  I discovered my nickel allergy from my earring post.  Even though the description said surgical steel post, my ear began to itch and turn bright red.  I now have to use silver or gold coated posts.   I use titanium for my PA and haven't had any issues.

    I only wear implant grade titanium.  I do agree with the comment, this jewelry is going into your body, why cheap out?
