Hi,
It may be allergic contact dermatitis due to acrylic nail paint. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
I would recommend you to apply mild steroid cream and to take oral steroid in tapering dose for 2 weeks. Take antihistaminic like cetirizine 10 mg to relieve itching.
Avoid painting of nails by acrylic colour.
Hope this helps.
