A member asked:
If nail polish remover with acetone in it got onto my skin but i rinsed it off with water afterward, will there be any negative effects on me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries: Have never seen anyone use nail polish remover without getting some of the remover onto the skin... so there shouldn't be any problem with that skin contact, as along as the remover is generally being used properly. Acetone does damage most plastics, so one should be careful where she works on her nails.
