I succumbed to a purchase of cheap gel nail varnish, drawn by the pretty autumnal colours. I noticed the next day that my fingers were burning so removed all traces but it was too late!
My nails aren’t too bad but my poor fingertips!
The skin is peeling and in places there are open wounds/fissures.
GP has given me steroid cream, steroid tape, antiemetics and antibiotics (I’m allergic to most ABs). The doctor is also concerned about an area on my nose where my glasses have rubbed the skin off.
I am disintegrating 😳
Nighttime isn’t too bad, DW applies the tape and I have cotton gloves. It’s difficult toget the tape near the cuts even though I have cut my nails right short.
However in the day I cannot keep a covering on my fingers.
They are so, so sore. I’m scared that they won’t heal properly and will leave scars!
Does anyone have any advice re plasters that might actually stay on? Or finger coverings that won’t look too hideous.
