Dermatologist Questions Allergic Reaction

Allergy or irritants

I've been having a reaction to doing my nails. I want to know if it's an allergy or if I've had an irritation that I've not been letting heal. I soaked off some polish in acetone a few months ago and each time I do my nails now my skin gets itchy with weepy bumps. I've been using this product for years with no reaction and even when I keep the nails on the skin does heal at the same rate as when I remove them. This only started after I soaked them in acetone. When I reapply they're mostly healed, the skin is just still slightly flaky.
