Gel nail polish May be the new fashion trend in nails. But, Some of the gel nail polishes are contained with a chemical called methyl acrylate which can cause an allergic skin reaction, called contact dermatitis. Whenever a rash occurs using a gel polish cortisone cream will help with the chemical rashes. Gel nail polish is set or cured with ultraviolet light. The problem is that ultraviolet light is essentially sunlight and sunlight causes skin cancer. If you are exposed to ultraviolet light for four to eight minutes every two weeks when you have a gel manicure, that can add up to significant exposure. To avoid potential skin cancers on your fingers or hands, Apply an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen to directly your hands and fingers after you wash your hands midway through the manicure. Then wear tightly woven cotton gloves with the tips of the fingers cut off. Another alternative is to find a manicurist that uses LED (light emitting diode) light to set the gel polish. We don't think that this type of light will cause skin cancer.
