The prong of the rings can start accumulating lotion or debris behind the stones. Hence, it is essential to keep this area clean as it can be a major place for bacteria or irritants to collect, leading to skin infections. Also, decreased airflow behind the stone can trap moisture against the finger, which is also a common cause of irritation.
