Acrylic Nails: Causes of Pain and Discomfort

Pressure and Weight

Excessive pressure or weight on acrylic nails can cause discomfort or pain. This can occur if the nails are applied too tightly or if they are exposed to heavy objects.

Allergic Reaction

Some individuals may have an allergic reaction to the chemicals used in acrylic nails. This reaction can cause redness, swelling, itching, and pain.

Weakening of Nails

Over time, acrylic nails can weaken due to excessive pressure and force. This can lead to lifting, which can also cause pain and discomfort.
