Chemicals in Acrylic Nail Products Can Cause Allergic Reactions
If you've ever gotten a manicure, you're probably familiar with the feeling of your nails being filed and buffed. But what you may not know is that the chemicals in acrylic nail products can cause allergic reactions.
Contact dermatitis is a common allergic reaction that can be caused by a number of different things, including chemicals in acrylic nail polish. Symptoms of contact dermatitis can include redness, itching, swelling, and blisters.
In severe cases, contact dermatitis can even lead to scarring. If you think you may be allergic to acrylic nail products, it's important to see a dermatologist for testing.
There are a few things you can do to avoid contact dermatitis from acrylic nail products:
- Choose nail salons that use high-quality products.
- Avoid getting manicures too often.
- Wear gloves when you're doing your own nails.
- If you do get a reaction, see a dermatologist right away.
