“…Allergic and irritant contact dermatitis (ACD/ICD) can also manifest as a result of nail polish, enhancers and other cosmetics that contain substances capable of inducing skin sensitization or irritation. Approximately, 2% of individuals may develop ACD or ICD in response to nail care products [92,93]. ACD might develop when exposed to potent sensitizers such as isobutyl, ethyl, and tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate.…”

Background: The nail unit is a complex system with various components, each serving distinct functions. The exposome, encompassing external and internal factors such as UV radiation, air pollution, dietary habits, and cosmetic product usage, substantially influences nail health and can lead to premature nail aging. Summary: Internal and external exposomal factors can impact differently on nail health, inducing a variety of different clinical conditions. Effective therapeutic strategies exist, but a comprehensive understanding of how the exposome affects nails is lacking. This article aims to bridge this knowledge gap by exploring the relationship between the exposome and nail health, emphasizing it as a central focus of our analysis. Key Messages: (1) The exposome, comprising various external and internal factors, may significantly influence nail health negatively, leading to premature nail aging. (2) Different nail conditions may arise due to the exposomal influence on nails. (3) Understanding the exposome’s impact on nail health is crucial for developing solutions to mitigate negative effects and improve overall nail well-being.

“…5,24,25,44 Acrylate ACD should be considered in patients with nail dystrophy and a history of wearing acrylic nails. 45 There can even be involvement of the face and eyelids secondary to airborne contact or ectopic spread from the hands. 24 Spreading vesicular eruptions associated with adhesives also should raise concern.…”

Acrylates are synthetic thermoplastic resins used in numerous industries since their discovery in the mid-19th century. Known for their versatility in formulating various consumer, health care, and industrial products, acrylates also have come under scrutiny for their potential to cause allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Allergic contact dermatitis to acrylates previously was largely occupational in nature, but the expanded use of acrylates in products ranging from nail cosmetics to medical devices has increasingly brought this allergy to the general population. Herein, we discuss the chemistry and allergenicity of acrylates and highlight common sources of exposure, clinical presentations, pertinent considerations for patch testing, and tips for the management/prevention of acrylate ACD. We hope to emphasize the shifting trend of exposure sources from the workplace to consumers, underlining the need for increased vigilance from physicians. Collaborative efforts among health care providers and patient education about allergen avoidance strategies are essential to mitigate potential complications arising from acrylate sensitization.Cutis. 2023;112:282-286.• When patch testing for suspected acrylate allergy, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is the most important screening allergen. Expanded testing to additional acrylates should be considered depending on the clinical scenario.

“…1 Certain acrylates in gel nail polish, including 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA), methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, and ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate are known sensitizers, and acrylates were designated the contact allergen of the year in 2012. 2 In a case series, there were 8 reports of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) secondary to 2-HEMA, di-hydroxyethylmethacrylate, (HEMA)-trimethylhexylcarbamate, and urethane acrylates from at-home gel nail kits. 3 Since gel manicures and at-home gel nail kits have surged in popularity in recent years, we aimed to quantify and characterize skin reactions to gel nails on social media.…”
