Redness in your nail bed after getting acrylics might be due to irritation or an allergic reaction to the chemicals used in the process.
When you get acrylic nails, your nail beds can sometimes turn red. This might happen because the chemicals used in acrylic nails can cause irritation. Acrylics and Irritation: The substances used in applying acrylic nails can be harsh and may irritate your nails and the surrounding skin. This irritation can lead to redness, swelling, or soreness. Possible Allergic Reaction: Some people might be allergic to the chemicals in acrylic nails. This can cause the skin around the nails to become red and uncomfortable. What to Do: If you notice redness or other changes after getting acrylics, it's a good idea to let your nails rest and avoid further irritation. If the redness doesn't go away or gets worse, you might want to talk to a healthcare professional. Always pay attention to how your body reacts to new beauty treatments and take care of your nails and skin.
