ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) from (meth)acrylates caused by long lasting nail polish (also known as "permanent", "semi-permanent" or "gel nail polish") has been described both in occupational and non-occupational settings. Inexpensive kits for home use have been available for purchase in many stores or through the Internet.OBJECTIVE:
To report on several further cases of consumers sensitised to these nail products.METHODS:
Patch test results and evaluation of ingredient labelling of products brought in by the patients.RESULTS:
Four new cases are presented. Three of the patients reacted to 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and all 4 to 2-hydroxy ethylacrylate.CONCLUSIONS:
Acrylates are present in a wide range of products including medical materials. Sensitization from (meth)acrylates caused by a merely aesthetic procedure might significantly impact health by jeopardizing access to several types of medical interventions. Policies should be implemented restricting the use of long-lasting nail polishes to qualified professionals and banning the indiscriminate sale of kits for home use.Palabras clave
