How To Treat Itchy, Swollen Nails With Blisters Near It And Tight, Red And Stinging Fingers After Putting Gel Nails?
I have had gel nails put on yesterday. However since yesterday evening my fingers have swollen up, majorly itchy, I have blisters near the nails and my fingers feel tight, red and blotchy like I have pins and needles. What can I take? It's kept me awake all night.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having allergic reaction due to gel applied on nails.
clean the nails properly and remove gel from the sire.
Apply some moisturizing cream on it.
Take some antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for 2 days.
Ok and take care.
