A former Miss Illinois survived melanoma and says her doctors believe her use of UV nail dryers while getting gel manicures may be linked to the diagnosis.
Before Karolina Jasko won the Miss Illinois contest in 2018, getting gel manicures had been part of her beauty routine all through high school. Not anymore.
It was during one of her frequent manicures that the salon's technician noticed a dark line under her thumbnail. Jasko said she thought she may have hit her hand, but a week later, she was in pain and her nail looked infected. That's when she saw a doctor, who then told her to have a biopsy right away.
The cause was impossible to say for sure, but Jasko said her doctors suspected genetics because her mother had had melanoma, and her use of UV nail dryers. "When we see cell death, it means that there has been a huge amount of damage to the cell that led it to die," Zhivagui said. The study's results made Zhivagui stop her own gel manicures. Cleveland Clinic dermatologist Melissa Piliang said it's best not to use UV dryers"at all" because of the cancer risk.
