Treatment and Restoration of Damaged Nails

How to treat a chemical burn on the nails?

A chemical burn of the nails from a lamp should be treated by a qualified podiatrist. First of all, if this problem occurs, you should refuse the gel coating and come to the doctor for an examination.
If necessary (if there is a suspicion of the development of fungal complications), the doctor may prescribe additional laboratory tests. After making an accurate diagnosis, the doctor draws up a treatment plan. It includes special treatment of the nail plates with antiseptic agents, and a hygienic medical manicure. The patient is also given recommendations and prescribed home treatment (in most cases, these are local anti-inflammatory and antiseptic drugs).

Treatment of chemical burns of nails from gel polish takes some time, and several months may be required for complete restoration of a healthy plate.

During the course of treatment, you should follow all the recommendations of the podiatrist and in no case apply a gel coating, as it can aggravate the situation and lead to even greater damage.
