ABSTRACT

Acrylates, which are monomers of salts or esters of acrylic acid, are known sensitizers. In fact, acrylates were named the 2012 contact allergen of the year. Gel nail products can contain multiple acrylate monomers, with most reported cases of contact dermatitis being attributed to 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA), 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (2-HPMA), and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). Even products marketed as “hypoallergenic” or “acrylate-free” may still contain acrylate-derived allergens. Currently, there are no published case reports of contact dermatitis due to acrylates from nail products in Mexico. We describe two such cases.
