Entender las causas, los síntomas y la atención responsable
There is still a great deal of obvious confusion over nail allergies and what to do about them.
Buscando consejo para la alergia a las uñas en las redes sociales
Hay innumerables fotos en SM pidiendo opiniones, aunque muchos afirman que no somos médicos por lo que no podemos diagnosticar. ¿Entonces qué?
If clients have been wearing nail coatings that are known to be allergenic and symptoms appear it doesn’t matter if they have had the same nail service for a long period of time with no reaction as it can take years for an immune response to occur.
The only next step is to seek a medical diagnosis. Many general practitioners lack knowledge about common acrylate reactions, often dismissing them as fungal infections or prescribing antibiotics or steroid creams.
No one should take antibiotics unless necessary as the body can build up an immunity to them and they will not work when their use is urgent. Steroid creams can thin the skin and do not cure an allergic reaction.
Pasos esenciales para las reacciones alérgicas y la identificación de hongos
The definitive step to remedy an allergic reaction involves complete removal of the allergen, which, in this case, refers to the nail coating.
Para determinar si un síntoma se debe a una infección fúngica, el método esencial son las pruebas.
The only real answer to know what to do with a potential allergy is to have a dermatology patch test and one specifically for acrylates and methacrylates (which not all dermatologists are qualified to do!). If a GP refuses to refer the patient to a dermatologist, then they should be advised that the patient has had a known allergen such as a nail coating. Once this is done and results are received, the very specific ingredient can be avoided.
Productos sin HEMA para alergias ungueales
It can be worth trying one nail with a HEMA-free product but the individual may, by that time, be allergic to many other acrylates or on the verge of becoming allergic. But if a client is insistent it can be done as long as the client agrees to return in one week to have it removed to see the condition of the nail plate and nail bed.
Pruebas previas de alergenos: Imprescindible antes de aplicar el recubrimiento de uñas
Until this testing has been carried out no coating should be applied. If it is then the nail professional is liable for causing any further damage and wide open to a liable action.
Cuando se produce una reacción, hay que animar a la clienta a que lo comunique a la Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano (Citizens Advice Bureau) y al profesional de uñas a que lo comunique al fabricante.
