Kind of nervous... UPDATE if you have Aryclic nails come on in!

I have had arcylic on my nails for a good few years. I had gone to a nail place that had nicked my nail bed and i ended up having yeast under the nail, it took about 1 year to grow out they reapplied the aryclic and it started to hurt so i had it taken off- the aryclic. Now I had an abscess and soaked it, it drained and the skin looks better, but I have a light brown steak near it. I think it is dirt becuase the nail was lifted, but I am so scared it is something awful. I work for a dr. and he told me it is probably just yeast like before but to make sure it is not a melanoma! I am so feaked out. I am googling it and it does not look like my nail, and the spot got lighter. I am going to the dermatologist tomorrow. has aNYONE EVER HAD THIS? PLEASE CALM ME DOWN! tia

UPDATE! Got into the doctor yesterday afternoon- Girls be very careful with your aryclics.... I had an abscess that was bleeding under my skin, that is what the brown mark was. I am on Cipro and warm soaks with epsom salts, and a cream applied to the nail. Please make sure that your nails are okay under the aryclics , and soak them off often, if you feel any pain get it taken care of ASAP. I am doing better this morning .

Sue,

Try to relax until you go to the Dr tomorrow. If you keep looking online you will just make yourself more worried.

One of the many reasons why I won't have acrylic nails...
I hope everything ends up okay for you.

I've had nails for years and other then a fungus once a while back because water got under the nail I haven't had a problem.

But thanks for the warning. I hope you feel better soon!

I have had acrylic nails for years, recently decided that I don't have time to keep them up so I have gone back to my bitten down stubs of nails. I loved my nails. I am so sorry that happened to you guys!

I don't think its a deterrant, the majority of people who have nails don't have any problems at all, but they do happen.

Take care of yourself!!! Ah, us girls suffer to look good huh?

I had them years ago but I couldnt stand the upkeep, $$$ and time anymore.
