A mother almost got her finger amputated after the beautician's mistake

"You have to suffer to be beautiful," they say. This adage implies all the processes and operations that a woman can use to look beautiful, whether to flatter her own perception of herself or for an ultimate goal of seduction. False nails are a particularly common practice, but uncontrolled, it can mark the beginning of a nightmare especially for a young woman whose story is relayed by The Sun.

False nails are aesthetically beautiful, give a vision of a neat hand of a woman with finesse assumed. But this practice is not without danger.

Laying false nails, the hidden danger!
The National Academy of Pharmacy had already warned of the potential dangers of a false nail pose, discouraging this practice to pregnant women, health care personnel and anyone under the age of 16 years. Even if you trust the beauticians who will take care of the process for you, always check that the equipment used is clean and perfectly sterilized. Different side effects can occur after the installation of false nails. These include bacterial infections, eczema and paresthesia, a kind of tingling fingertips. It is also necessary to note that the nail can be strongly weakened after the procedure.
Gel nails involve the use of a UV lamp for curing the resin used. Special care should be taken because long exposure to light can cause burns and promote the development of long-term carcinogenic cells.
A mother was almost amputated part of her finger!

Brittany Guyatt, 20, from Swindon, Wilthire County had a nasty surprise after applying her acrylic nails last March. After her visit to the salon, and a treatment with apparently unsterilized equipment, she noticed at first, the appearance of a semblance of red blister at the end of her finger.
A small nodosity of a few centimeters began to be infected, especially since it was filled with pus bad odor.
In May, she was diagnosed with an annular granuloma, a kind of dermatitis that she had to remove surgically or she had to amputate part of her finger.

She resigned herself never to pose a false nail in her life, and took advantage of this incident to raise public awareness of the health risks arising from the various processes related to false nails.
Brittany has not failed to recall on a Facebook post: "We see these things and we never think that it can happen to us, I will not be asked false nails, it is not worth it. I prefer to buy stickers and use it. The doctors think that my infection was caused by the equipment used in the salon, which was probably dirty.


She then goes on to say to people aspiring to this aesthetic practice: "I just want the other girls to make sure that their beautician took good care to sterilize their equipment. For my case, I have never seen them clean. Make sure to go to a salon you trust! "

Brittany was pregnant at the time of the facts. And when doctors diagnosed her with granuloma after delivery, they advised her not to breastfeed because of the steroid cream they prescribed. Which particularly broke his heart.

Subsequently, radios ensured that the granuloma was not fused to his bone, so the doctors advised him to have surgery to remove it before it was too late and they had to amputate the upper part of the whole finger.
