Peeling fingertips after nail polish remover

Aply vasilin were its peeling put it a big glob on befor u go to bed and you will wake up with soft mosturized tips ! Hope i helpe and sorry this is a realy late reply!

Hi: 

I recently received 2nd degree burns to 3 of my fingers from Non Acetone Nail polish remover. It took the skin off 1/2 down my fingers. I ended up having to use an antibiotic cream for 1 month and keep them wrapped up. The skin has now grown back but the nerve endings aren't healed up yet. The dr. said it is a slow process. I think this is unacceptable and there should be warning labels as well as expiry dates. I have brought this to the attention of the company but they insist it was an adverse reaction to me, even though my daughter received smaller burns on her fingers. 

*Panty-liners*        (pads)

-DO NOT remove the plastic backing       

(the part that will make it become sticky)

-HOLD ONTO THE PLASTIC side

put NAIL POLISH REMOVER ON THE PAD side

-JUST 1 DAB OF POLISH PER NAIL, if possible,

(instead of soaking the entire pad right away)

THIS HELPS to MINIMIZE the chance of TOUCHING it at all

-MOVE TO A NEW PLACE on the pad for the NEXT NAIL

to INCREASE EFFECTIVNESS and PREVENT the color

getting back ON TO YOUR SKIN.

*My sister taught me this, (Thanks Michelle!! :)

*Im here because my finger tips feel tight and smooth on 3 fingers, i cant grip a piece of paper. little tingley and very annoying, but not fightening. i amTHANKFUL that it is not worse, and DEEPLY SORRY to hear how bad it can get. i can only imagine the psycological toll that must take on the afflicted, as well. i would be very sad, SCARED and withdrawln. 

I hope you all get well very soon.

 

-----------------------TO ANYONE who feels EVEN A SMALL SENSATION

after contact with nailpolish remover,i think its safe to say;

SLATHER ON LOTION RIGHT AWAYand COVER YOUR HAND with a PLASTIC GROCERY BAG

to CREATE A MOISTER GLOVE, wear only for a few hours or so A DAY

DO NOT wear it all day, (THAT'S GOTTA BE BAD) let it breathe, too.

RUB LOTION into your hands for the REST OF THE DAY, too.

I think this would be good RISK MANAGEMENT in general, for anyone.

It is, what i am doing right now.

It may help if your lotion is hypoallergenic, perfume-free, LANOLIN-FREE

I dont know enough to tell anyone, what's-what.

But i feel confident that moisture is what is needed,

and to NEVER let ANYKIND OF NAIL POLISH REMOVER EVER touch you AGAIN.

 :))))STAY UP,  pretty ladies!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use aloe vera. I've had same problem but mine is actual excema. I also put vitamin e oil on them & soak in crushed ice, will help heal them faster! Good luck!

I have the same issue. I removed stubborn nail polish with cutex acetone free remover. Two days later the tips of my fingers started to bubble and the skin just peeled off. I went to the Dr. and they said it was a severe chemical burn. It has been 3 weeks now, and my fingers are peeling for the 3rd time! My thumb and 1st finger are numb to the touch, and it is very painful. The bottle should have a warning on it, and an expiration date in my opinion. I had NO idea it could do this!

What was the brand? The same happened to me and it was non acetone cutex brand.

similar to my problem i have told to rub and soke in lavender ecentisl oils but i bought some chilblane oit from boots that helped but you need to put it on either then cotton gloves i do it at bed time as it gets ichier and hotter at that time hope that helps

This just happened to me. Three of my finger look like there is going to be big blisters. Not sure if I should go ahead and remove the skin or what. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,

thats the exact same brand i used and now the skin on my fingertips is almost completely peeling off, but before all this happened the skin on my fingers began to crack, although i did not receive any blisters which is odd.

Had the same problem with acetone free polish remover. Was able to fix the chemical burn by poking a pin in vitamin English capsules and squeezing a full capsule per fingertip, cover with a small square of gauze, then wrapping each fingertip with stretchy type bandage (like vets use on dog legs). Apply 2-3 times /day for 2-3 days. Moisturize well after til normal.

i have chemical burns all on my fingertips fist i thought it was dry skin then it pealed and burned and now it is just cracked and dry i started to put over the counter eczema cream on with a band aid and it only helped a little but don't use the nail polish remover again bc it will come back and be 10 times worse give it time to heal

I had dry cracking finger tips from using nail polish remover. No blisters though. Moisturizer didn't help much. When it felt like sand paper, I took a heavy duty emory board and filed away the dead skin. It worked but I don't understand why it happened now and never before.

Every time I use Cutex acetone free nail polish remover my fingertips look like a dry, cracked desert ground and feel weird for weeks. My husband said he thinks they replaced the acetone w/ a worse chemical. I’m going back to regular nail polish remover with acetone bc I’ve never experienced this until I used acetone-free remover.

I'm just now going thru this. Fingertips are like sandpaper, and it's spreading. How did u file them when they hurt to touch anything? I can't even be near heat because of the pain. I used a generic Cutex brand too, and soaked my acrylics for 40 minutes. I'm stupid, I know, but they were turning my nails green and I panicked. Now I can't touch anything.

i still have chemical burns and it has bean over a year
