Hi all,
The main product I use as a nail tech is gel polish (artistic colour gloss or Jessica) recently, my skin has been reacting and getting itchy where the bottle neck ends up resting on my skin. I was trained to hold the bottle while I paint and it feels weird if I don't know. The salon where I also work part time have all of the techs do this. Sometimes if there is gel around the bottle it gets onto my thumb and I get red itchy patches. I have cream and my doctors only suggestion is don't hold the bottle. After a days working yesterday, I had my usual flare up but have managed to get a blister! It was full but has gone down by itself now so just looks gross and the whole area is patchy. Is that normal? And is there tape or anything people use to protect their fingers? I don't really want to wear gloves for application. Thanks!
this is it now, the camera hasn't captured the redness
