    Question

    Hello, I went to a nail salon to get a manicure after taking off, fake finger nail tips. Now I have this uncontrollable burning sensation that run from the nail root to the tips, It feels so bad I could hardy write. Please offer me a solution. Thank You.

    Answer

    If this sensation lasts more than 2-3 days after the manicure, you should have it evaluated by your doctor. You might be having a sensitivity reaction to a component used in the manicure, or a reaction to the nail products you removed.
