Can you get skin reactions from acrylic finger nails? Can it affect your skin other than your hands(Face)?

Ever since I had acrylic nails put on I have had weird skin reactions. I have normally very clear skin and of late I have painful bumps (not a cold sore, not acne) on my chin and around the corner of my mouth. Now I have a weird cancker sore on the roof of my mouth. Also have a rash on my leg. What they have in common is that they seem to dry up and then come back. They seem somewhat blister like (fluid filled).

Some people who wear artificial, or acrylic, nails may notice a slight discoloration or coarsening of their natural nails. But a more serious nail problem resulting from acrylic nails is infection.





Sometimes a gap develops between the acrylic nail and the natural nail 鈥?for example, if the acrylic nail is bumped or jarred, it may separate from the natural nail. This gap provides a moist, warm environment in which bacteria and fungus can grow. If such an infection occurs, the natural nail may become thickened and discolored and should be evaluated by a dermatologist.





Rarely, a person may have an allergic reaction (contact dermatitis) to components of acrylic nails or the adhesives used to apply them. This usually results in some redness and peeling of the skin around the nail. If peeling is excessive or persists despite the use of moisturizer on the affected skin, consult a dermatologist.





The key to preventing infection and nail damage due to artificial nails is to choose a reputable, licensed nail salon.

Choosing a safe nail salon !!!!!!Questions you should ask :





Is the salon licensed? If the license isn't posted, ask to see it.


Are the nail technicians licensed? If the licenses aren't posted, ask to see them.


How are nail implements sanitized? Heat sterilization (autoclaving) is best. But chemical sterilization is also allowed.


Is there a pre-service scrub? Both the nail technician and the client should wash their hands with antimicrobial soap before nail work begins.


Is each customer given a fresh bowl of soapy water to soak their nails in and is a new nail file used for each customer?


Is the facility neat and clean?


Is there a strong smell of fumes? If there is, it's a sign that the facility is poorly ventilated.

Being a former manicurist I can answer that with a firm YES . Many non American nail salons do not ad hear to state sanitation codes and who knows who had what before they worked on you? Acrylic nails also stop your natural nails from protecting the nerve endings in your fingers. There have been millions of bad reports of people getting everything from athletes foot from no disinfected pedicure stations to Herpes from non sanitized tools from a simple manicure and lost their fingers. So good things aren't cheep and cheep things aren't good go see a dermatologist and get that checked ASAP you may have even caught morgellons like I did go to morgellons.org and compare symptoms a doctor will call you nuts if you caught this but you can email me if your symptoms match OK?
