Can Gel Manicure Cause Redness On Cuticle?

Had a gel manicure for the first time 2 weeks ago on my own natural nails .woke up with large white puss filled blister on one fingers cuticle. 2 days later blister has gone down no more puss but cuticle is red and blustery. Could it be from gel manicure? Should I stop gel and go back to regular mani?

Hi,

Possibly you are having reaction to gel manicure. If I was your caring doctor would advise to get the gel off and get back to your regular and natural hands.

If the problem will still persist then dermatologist is to get consulted for a more specific treatment.

All the best!
