Green Spot Nail Under Acrylic

Answer 1 of 5.

Green spot nail under acrylic. The condition is usually confined to one or two nails and can involve fingernails or. No matter what I do - ex take off the acrylics and file the green off - it comes off cause its weak and rips on anything. This green stain on the nail plate is actually Pseudomonas bacterial.

Typically the nail does not provide a sustainable environment for these bacteria to grow however when conditions are perfect such as when moisture gets trapped these bacteria make a home either on top of the natural nail and under an enhancement. It is actually fairly common to find green nails after fake nails are removed. Under your nail enhancement for example.

If the right application method is not followed the gap between the natural nail bed and acrylic nails may develop. Last edited by BlondeByDesire. Although this green discoloration may have the appearance of a mold this is NOT a mold.

Anyhow I have a that green nail under a acrylic. Some bacteria in tap water gives off a green bloom. Since the discoloration is underneath the nail.

It is when debry gets under the lifting nail where it is wet and warm and breed. Nail fungus that appear on the artificial acrylic nails may not be life-threatening. Schoon reminds us that green spots are not caused by moisture.

Once the nail gets infected the fungus thrives as the fake nails offer a perfect place for them to thrive a warm moist and dark atmosphere. When not treated properly this spot will continue to grow and cause some significant damage to the natural nail. 11-01-2011 0140 PM.
