HIGH HEALTH RISK! - Foot, hand and nail care

I've been doing manicures for about two years. Before this purchase I never had any problems. After using the product for the first time my fingers started itching and I got small burns around the cuticles that looked like some form of dermatitis. After using the eczema cream for a week my finger was back to normal so I didn't think anything of it. Two weeks later I paint my nails again but this time the reaction was ten times worse. My fingers began to swell and blister; the blisters hardened, then my skin began to tear to the point where my flesh could be seen; and let's not forget the ongoing burn. The reaction ran down my arm. I ended up in the ER with a high fever, swollen hands, and swollen lips (which was weird). I've never had an allergic reaction to anything, so this was a very new and unwelcome experience. It's been a week and two days since I've used this product and this afternoon the swelling finally went down but the blisters have hardened and now the areas where the blisters were are hard and numb. Unfortunately, only a dermatologist can help me get my hands back to normal. I can only upload one video which sucks because I only made the video to document that experience. Especially for this post I decided to upload a video tonight. This is what my hand looks like right now and as you can see I can't fully flex my index finger and have limited mobility in my middle finger as my skin has hardened where it has changed colour. (The discolored area was initially swollen, then turned into a giant blister, and then hardened on its own.) From what has been said, please use as you please, but honestly, don't waste your time. This experience will not be worth it. I'm very happy that I immediately understood why my hand reacted the way it did. I read a review where someone had symptoms for a year before discovering it was this product.
