These are the first visible signs of an acrylic allergy. The area affected by the acrylic substance tends to become red and swollen, often accompanied by a sensation of heat and discomfort.
The affected area often becomes itchy, leading to an uncontrollable urge to scratch. The intensity of the itching varies from person to person but is generally persistent and annoying.
On exposure to acrylic substances, blisters filled with fluid may form on the skin. These blisters can worsen if scratched or picked at and can lead to possible infection.
Acrylic allergy can cause the skin to turn dry and peel off. The skin might also crack which can further irritate the skin and may cause discomfort or pain.
Hives, or urticaria, are a common symptom of an acrylic allergy. They are red, raised, itchy welts of various sizes that appear on the skin and cause discomfort.
In severe cases, exposure to acrylic can cause respiratory problems. This is a more uncommon symptom, but one that indicates serious reaction and requires immediate medical attention.
Recognize your symptoms?

Observe Physical Reactions
Monitor Breathing Difficulties
Analyze Timing of Symptoms
Please note that if you suspect an Acrylic allergy, seek professional medical advice. Self-diagnosis is never a replacement for professional healthcare consultation. A healthcare provider can guide you through appropriate diagnostic tests and treatment strategies.

Am I eligible?
Try not to touch acrylic often or for prolonged periods. The less contact you have, the less likely your skin will react.
Wear gloves, long sleeves, and other protective clothing when handling acrylic to minimize contact with your skin. Skin reactions to acrylic often develop over time due to frequent exposure, so protective clothing can help prevent an allergic reaction.
If you know you're sensitive to acrylic, consider using alternatives made from hypoallergenic materials. This can reduce your risk of developing an allergy.
Maintaining a healthy skin barrier can help prevent allergic reactions. Stay hydrated and moisturize your skin regularly to keep it healthy and less likely to react to acrylic.
