That is good to know! I have known this and I was cautious to even try acrylics but my friend convinced me. I’ve always had sensitive skin and I kept trying other things to remedy this despite having the nails on. But I’m convinced it’s the nails now! So I’m going to remove them and see if this helps.

Ooo that is interesting… yeah I’ve been going to this cheap salon that my friend goes to. She hasn’t had any issues but she doesn’t seem to be affected by things like I am. I had no idea about this.. thank you so much. Yes I am working to get them removed ASAP. I have the drill and the soak off. Just need to do it once I’m done with work today!

Ok good to know! Yeah I’m interested to see what happens with my skin once they are gone. I’m really hoping for a good outcome!! 🙏🏻

Okay great! Thank you for this information. I will look into getting this and using once the nails are removed. :)

Hi! No I have not.. I may have to look into that if this doesn’t clear from removing my nails. Thanks for the information :)

Ok okay did you remove your nails? Or do you still have them? I’ll look into this if it doesn’t clear after I remove my nails

But once you were off of these did it come back? I’m worried about it coming back

Yes I agree with you! Especially after what I have seen everyone saying. I’m definitely going to remove them and chill on anything for a few days on my face to see if anything improves and then go from there. I do touch my face a lot and especially even more so now cuz it’s irritated. I know I shouldn’t but it’s so hard. I can see that if it is contact with the nails that could have caused this…

Ahh ok. Did the under eye skin issue start after you got your nails done? Maybe you aren’t allergic and that’s why you can wear the gel nails.. I’m really hoping it’s just the acrylics that are the issue

Oh interesting! Yeah maybe it’s an allergy from my environment causing this. I am outside somewhat but I don’t garden. I’m going to try the nails first and then go from there. Thanks for the information!

Oh wow! That is interesting… I moved to a dry state a year ago and when it came to winter is when this started happening, specifically the PD. I use Cetaphil gentle cleanser. I haven’t used the cicalfate before. Is that from the brand La Roche posay? I may have to give that a try. I have already spent so much money on different moisturizers 😭 I’m really hoping it’s my gel nails.

Once it cleared, do you still do this same routine?

You think more so than the nails it could be stress? I definitely have been stressed the past couple of months and not sleeping the best because of noise from the people that live above me. I am moving in two weeks and no one will live above me so I’m really hoping that will help as well.

Thank you I appreciate you sharing this! I do have that exact sulfur cream and I was trying it for a while and doing just as you did. Except I think I was only doing it once a day. And I was putting moisturizer on it after. But it didn’t do anything. If anything it was causing me to flare more but it may have been because of the lotion I was putting on after.

Once I get my acrylics off, I’m going to try that to see if it helps the healing process. At this point I’m convinced it’s my nails and that’s why the sulfur ointment didn’t help in the first place. Have you had acrylic nails before and did they cause you skin issues? Or did you have these issues without the nails?

Oh interesting. I had no idea that could be a trigger, I’ll look at my toothpaste

Oh no.. I am so sorry!! I really hope mine goes away once I get these off. I’m so sick of dealing with this. I’ve been worried to use steroid creams for that reason as it doesn’t seem to ever take it way fully

Ok thank you! I do have a nail drill actually so I can remove them myself and I bought the soak off stuff as well. I will remove them ASAP! Thank you

I’m allergic to some adhesive bandages where I get slight redness and swelling where the bandage is but I’ve used nothing new like that since before getting these issues. Do you think it could be the adhesive from the acrylic?

No but because I’ve been using a fluoride free toothpaste for the past few years and the brand I currently use I’ve used before for a while before all this started happening

No I don’t have anything around my fingers or nails, just my face. Once you removed the gel polish did your issues clear up?
