Brief Answer:
Foreign Body reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If the darkness and pain were just temporary it might be a foreign body reaction to the acrylic fill used. I think you should learn to test these new things for the first time you even try them to avoid major inconveniences.

For now I do not suggest you anything to take. Please reply back if you still have this future.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
