Tôi thấy một bức ảnh đang lưu hành on the Internet showing a dark stripe running the length of the nail plate that was supposed to be nail cancer caused by a UV nail lamp. Is this possible?
I saw the picture as well and was asked this question by nail technicians in seven countries. The dark stripe was about the width of a drinking straw. The message attached to this image incorrectly identified this stripe as “nail cancer” caused by UV nail lamps. It was posted by someone claiming to be a friend of the person with the nail stripe, but no other information was provided. The image and message were repeated widely on the Internet, even though there was no information to back up this silly and highly speculative claim. Even so, many websites pounced on this as if it were fact, when actually this is a prime example of fake news and shows how fake news can unfairly harm your business.
Vạch trần động cơ đằng sau những tuyên bố vô căn cứ về đèn làm móng
Personally, I am convinced this particular piece of “fake information” was planted by fear-based activists for the purpose of misleading the public about UV nail lamps. Yes, I’ve seen this done many times before by these fear-based activists. This was a crazy claim, with NO supporting evidence, but evidence isn’t needed if the goal is to create irrational fear.
Xua tan những lầm tưởng: Hiểu được nguyên nhân thực sự gây ra vệt móng tay sẫm màu
Sau đây là sự thật, những vệt đen như thế này là tình trạng khá phổ biến xảy ra trên bàn tay, bàn chân của nam giới, phụ nữ và trẻ em chưa bao giờ đến tiệm làm móng nên nó KHÔNG phải do đèn UV gây ra và không có lý do gì để tin rằng điều này có thể xảy ra.
These dark stripes are very common around the world, mostly to those with dark skin and are relatively uncommon to those with pale skin. Many things can lead to the occurrence of these dark stripes, they happen when the cells in the nail matrix begin to produce melanin. This can be a result of pregnancy, nail biting, carpal tunnel syndrome, psoriasis, viral mụn cóc, cường giáp, tiếp xúc với tia X, liệu pháp quang học, thuốc men, quá nhiều sắt trong chế độ ăn uống và nhiều thứ khác. Trong những trường hợp hiếm hoi, điều này có thể chỉ ra sự tồn tại của khối u, nhưng những điều này có khả năng xảy ra nhiều hơn do tiếp xúc với ánh nắng mặt trời giải trí - không phải đèn UV làm móng tay.

The nail plate has a high natural SPF that protects the nail bed and the matrix is buried under a thick layer of skin, so it’s VERY unlikely that UV nail lamps would cause such issues. These UV lamps have been repeatedly demonstrated to be safe as used. In short, there is no reason to believe this story no reason to believe this dark stripe was caused by a UV nail lamp, and there is no reason to believe the person who posted this information. Especially since she refuses to return my e-mails or communicate with anyone else who tried to contact her and follow up on these claims.
Personally, I suspect this is an entirely made-up story, which would mean those behind this nonsense were INTENTIONALLY trying to harm the business of salons everywhere. That’s becoming commonplace. Fear-based activists regularly attack the nail industry with misinformation to sow fear and they often dupe the news media into spreading their trickery. That’s why it is so important that nail professionals become more educated about the nail and nail products, so they can fight back against these tricky deceptions. Don’t be fooled, get the facts from someone who knows.
