Lisa had been getting her nails done regularly for years without issue.

However, in February, a set of gel nails became inflamed and began peeling away from the nail bed.

At the time, it was diagnosed as a bacterial infection, and Lisa was given a steroid cream and antibiotics to fight it.

Allergic Reaction and its Impact

However, last month, after getting a set of acrylic nails, Lisa found herself in pain again.

Her nails became “very aggravated,” and she could barely move her hands due to the pain.

As a result, she struggled with everyday tasks such as washing her daughter’s hair, holding a pen, and washing up.

She believes that she can never have gel or acrylic nails again due to the suspected allergy.

She first noticed a reaction after getting gel nails applied in February.
