Skin irritation due to metal charging port behind the watch

The metal prongs of the charging port behind the watch is making my skin itch. What can I do about it?

I bought a cap that can be placed over the charging port but it is made of silicone which I am allergic to. My skin used to be irritated due to the silicone strap but I switched to a nylon strap. My problem is that my skin is irritated either with the charging port bare or with the silicone cover.
