Foot spa & pedicure led to burning red skin on feet!!!!!! Never suffered from this before

[Lisalou19]

Just wondered if anyone else has suffered from anything like this!!!!! I’ve had many pedicures in my time with no problem. What ever is wrong with me has progressed over the past 6 months .

So today I was having a regular normal pedicure, my feet started to look red, and then my left foot become quite sore. The skin started to bubble (I’ve suffered the same experiences on my face in the sun) the skin was cooled with water, but was left looking rather sore. Genuinely I feel ok today, so Abit confused at this new problem

Just a thought - it’s not the nail varnish or nail varnish remover they used? I am very allergic to both of these as they both contain some pretty nasty chemicals. If so, you can buy organic without the nasties.

Sometimes I wish my skin just reacted to substances . I’ve had a complete allergy screening and all are clear. The rash appeared after soaking in water for 5 minutes, then the skin started to bubble. Maybe very sensitive skin. At the moment everything I do is causing my skin to flare!!!!

Chemical sensitivities are different than alleregies.. you may be reacting to the chemicals they use to clean the foot bath, or perfumes they put into the water.

It looks like contact dermatitis. Ask them to rinse and run the water in the foot bath for a few minutes and drain and refill and put no chemicals in the water they will use for your feet.
