Be seen today
Contact a poison centre promptly after swallowing cuticle remover, getting it in the eyes, inhaling significant spray, or having a skin exposure that causes more than mild irritation.
Do not wait for symptoms if a child swallowed or may have swallowed the product.
Get urgent medical assessment for:
Ongoing eye pain, redness, light sensitivity, or blurred vision after rinsing
Blistering, whitening, darkening, or worsening skin pain
Drooling, repeated vomiting, or difficulty swallowing
Chest or abdominal pain
Coughing, wheezing, or a hoarse voice
Blood in vomit
Intentional exposure requires urgent medical assessment even without symptoms, together with immediate emotional and safety support.

has a wound that is hot, spreading red, or leaking pus
