it's drying out your skin. wash it off with a soap or facial scrub that is gritty and put lotion on. baby oil might even work to help get the paint off.

Soccer, I have taken college art classes for 30 years now, and from the beginning, the information about acrylic paint has left me wondering what the full story is. Acrylic paint tubes have a listing from the ASTM, which decides what's toxic for artists, say they are non-toxic. Yet, anything you read about the pigments, which are what create the color in any paint, say that many are indeed toxic. My professors have always said acrylics are not made for application to skin.

Even wearing gloves, artists using acrylics wind up with paint on themselves. I have never heard of anyone itching. So that suggests to me that you may be allergic, or at least sensitive to the paint. If anything more than itching starts, see a doctor. We all hope that we are safe. I suppose when enough people who use acrylics start getting old, if we all have some similar cancer or other disease, we'll know what it was. Or maybe we'll be fine, I hope!

When you want to do body painting again, there are body paints available from many sources, so use that.

If your fingertips are itching, you may have an allergy to latex, which means you should avoid excessive skin contact with acrylic paints. If you have any difficulty breathing or swallowing, definitely dial 911.

Hi,

You don't specify what kind of acrylic paint.
Contact the manufacturer or check their site if they have one.
If you still have the can/pot/tube, take it to a doctor or hospital.
Health issues are to be solved by professionals.

Kind regards,

José
