Jessica Klick’s daughter, Sienna, 11, was at a friend’s house when they decided to try on some fake nails that her friend had received as a gift.

She continues, “I went over to her house as soon as I could. Luckily, she lives just a few minutes down the road.”

When the mother of two arrived, she found Sienna upset and in tears. Since the incident, which occurred over a month ago, Jessica says Sienna experienced significant pain in the first week or two. While most of the burn has healed, there is still one open area that needs to be covered. Although Sienna seems to be in less pain now, the area remains very sensitive to touch.

“This wasn’t a superficial burn or injury; it was a deep second-degree burn that caused a lot of pain, limited her activities for over a month, and will leave a deep scar,” Jessica says.

“the way my jaw dropped when I saw how severe that burn was. I hope your daughter is OK now!” one comment says.

“I had no idea. Glad the mom was there to help your daughter,” another user writes.

“Many girls her age begin to experiment with these products, and most parents don’t realize that this chemical reaction can occur,” Jessica continues. “I’ve received positive feedback on my post, with many parents thanking me for spreading awareness and others sharing similar experiences.”

She emphasizes that more people need to understand that this chemical reaction can happen with various fabrics, particularly cotton and wool. “I want to let parents know that if they choose to allow their children to use fake nails, they should supervise closely to help prevent what happened to my daughter.”
