When lighting after applying gel nail polish, nail pain may be related to various factors, such as excessive lighting, uneven nail surface, excessive nail polish, allergic reactions, onychomycosis, etc. You can go to the hospital for medical examination and targeted treatment after identifying the cause.
Excessive lighting: When using nail art lighting, if the lighting is too strong, the temperature will significantly increase, causing pain and burning sensation in the nails and fingers. This is because high-intensity light and heat may cause irritation to the nails and surrounding skin tissue.
Uneven surface of nails: Before manicures, nails need to be polished to ensure smoothness and flatness. If this step is not carried out or not done properly, the gel nail polish may penetrate deep into the nail seam, causing pain and discomfort during lighting.
Excessive nail polish: When applying gel nail polish, if there are situations such as excessive or uneven application, it may cause discomfort such as pain and stinging in the nails when illuminated. Excessive nail polish will absorb more heat when illuminated, thereby increasing stimulation to the nails.
Allergic reactions: If the body has a sensitive constitution and is allergic to nail polish, UV rays, and other conditions, the body may experience allergic reactions when illuminated, such as nail pain, itching, redness, and swelling. Certain components or ultraviolet rays in nail oil can become allergens.
Onychomycosis: If the health of the nails is poor and there is a fungal infection, the affected area may be stimulated during nail polish surgery, which can easily lead to pain symptoms. Fungal infections can cause nails to thicken, discolor, and worsen discomfort when exposed to heat.
Paronychia: paronychia is usually caused by bacterial infections, which may enter the skin through damaged nails and multiply. During the nail art process, if the nails are damaged or infected with bacteria, it may lead to the occurrence of paronychia, which can cause pain during lighting.
Vitamin deficiency: Lack of vitamins such as A and B can lead to a thin stratum corneum, making nails fragile and fragile, increasing the risk of injury, and ultimately causing pain during lighting.
Nail tool damage: Improper operation during nail art, such as using unsterilized tools or excessive trimming, may cause small scratches or damage to the nails, resulting in pain during lighting.
Nails too thin
It can lead to inadequate protection of the skin, resulting in this situation. When doing nail art, it is important to pay attention to gentle movements, which can reduce the time required for nail polishing. At the same time, the bottom layer of glue can be applied moderately thick to help the nails thicken and reduce damage during baking.
Adhesive in contact with skin
When applying glue, it may be applied to the skin around the nails. When baking, the glue causes the skin to contract, resulting in pain. At this point, you can stop baking the lamp and remove the glue from the skin around the nails to alleviate the pain.
In addition, it may also be caused by factors such as wounds on the nails. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention from the hospital’s dermatology department and receive antibiotic treatment if necessary to prevent infection.
If the pain persists without relief, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
Before manicures, ensure that the surface of the nails is smooth and even, and avoid applying too much nail polish.
Choose nail products that are suitable for your skin type and physique to avoid allergic reactions.
Pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of nail enhancement tools to avoid bacterial infection.
Supplementing with vitamin supplements, such as vitamin E capsules, complex vitamin B tablets, etc., to improve nail health.
