A good manicure can brighten a humdrum day and be a major mood boost.
That’s all in addition to the awesome new look on your nails.
Yet, sometimes after a manicure, you could experience irritation around your nails.
Your first thought may be infection, which is always a concern.
Consequently, salons should always be properly vetted for safe sterilization techniques.
However, it’s not only infection that can irritate.
It’s also possible to be allergic to your manicure.
While there are obvious signs, there are also a few hidden ones that may surprise you.
Your cuticle area may also look swollen and red.
One cause of allergies after manicures is the methacrylate found in acrylics, as well as nail adhesives.
Other allergens found in nail polish are free formaldehyde, toluene, and acrylates.
You may also notice that your nails, and specifically the area underneath, feel very warm.
This jot down of allergy often stems from using uncured gel polish, perHooked On Nails.
Oddly enough, you may also sneeze and have a runny nose.
Typically, the allergy will lessen and then gradually go away once the product is removed.
For mild cases, dabbing some hydrocortisone on the area and taking an over-the-counter antihistamine will do the trick.
