Doctor talks about the dangers of using gel polish
If you want to use gel polish during your manicure, you need to keep in mind that such a coating should be removed in time.
The thing is that this type of varnish can be on the nails for no more than three weeks.
The problem is that the nail grows and the center of gravity shifts, which means that the nail plate is more vulnerable.
Substances that can trigger the appearance of fungus can get into weak areas.
This statement was made by dermatovenerologist Svetlana Vorozhbit in a conversation with representatives of the publication " Gazeta.Ru ".
In addition, gel polish may contain formaldehyde, formaldehyde resins, preservatives and other additives that can provoke an allergic reaction or thin the nails with prolonged contact. Nails can easily chip, there is a risk of white spots appearing on the plate itself, etc.
If the gel polish also gets under the cuticle, there is a risk of fungal and bacterial infections at the damaged areas.
Vorozhbit reminded about the aggressive composition of nail polish removers, and also reminded that there should be no pain or burning when filing nails.
