I was getting terrible contact dermatitis and itching from the q-monomer on my ring finger because I rest my brush on the cuticle area. After trying finger cots, latex gloves, barrier cream, cortisone cream, etc. with no luck I decided to try nitrile gloves. They have really helped! I'm completely healed!

As you are wearing gloves I don't see how monomer is getting on to your hands.
It may be the gloves you are using. I am allergic to laytex and can only wear Nitrile gloves. Give these a try.

It started for some weeks ago when i was not using gloves,so yesterday i used two gloves and really thougt that would help,but i got worse and havent sleept more than two hours last night:-(
But i will try other gloves,really hope that will help.
I was pretty scared when i realised how much my fingers had swollen up.They where REALLY big and red,and it itched like crazy.
Maybe i also will give ibd gel a try again also,maybe that will help.

The latex gloves will actually make your problem worse, you need to be wearing nitrile gloves. This has been discussed a few times, Samuel put a link in to a previous post which may help you:

Thanx alot girls,i will give nitrile gloves a chance.I would be very sad if i have to give up doing nails.
I cant remember that we learned about what kind of gloves to use when i took my nail tech eduacation
Mundo have very reasonably priced nitrile gloves

Definately sounds like contact dermatitis from over exposure.

I use normal latex gloves but make sure I always have cotton gloves underneath.
I don't wash my cotton gloves in any soap, just warm water.
My dermatologist said that the monomer can get through the gloves, I thought this was strange but it had to be right cos I had heaps of problems for a while.:?:
Make sure too that your gloves are changed regularly or the sweat affects your hands.

I think this is a good reason for all of us to ensure that we're working as safely and as smartly as possible.
I'm assuming that you're experiencing overexposure, this is something that we must all make doubly sure we're aware of...
