I know the logical thing would be to use nail polish remover, but this is for my 6 year old. She got out of the shower and decided to polish her toenails. She spilled the nail polish all down the front of her body. So needless to say it's in some sensitive areas. I tried scrubbing it, but it was hurting her. I think nail polish remover would be to harsh on her skin. Any ideas?? Moms help!!!!

First I know you will secure the nail polish in the future.
The acetone to take off the nail polish would be very harsh. Why not just let nature take its court and let the skin "wear" and not try to remove it.
Otherwise, I would contact Poison Control or your family doctor and ask for sage advise.

You may have to let it wear off and just scrub in the bath. Otherwise, try the non-acetone polish remover that they use for fake nails. This is a tamer remover that is designed to not melt fake nails.

while nail polish remover would work for most areas, you are right that it should not be used on any sensitive areas. Another bath while it's still wet should remove most of it, but I would recommend that you call your family doctor or urgent care center and see what they think you should do after that.

I agree. take her to the hospital and tell them what happened. It is always better to be safe than sorry. I would say to use nail polish remover but shes 6 years old and that could hurt/not be good for skin, so just take her to the emergency room.

Either use the nail polish remover, soap and water...or it'll just disappear after a few baths

Usually hot water and soap work well. Just don't scrub too hard. After a few baths it should all come off.

Let her soak in some warm water and then use soap or cleaner with a washcloth. If it doesn't come off then i would use alcohol for anything or just dry off completely with a towel and that will rub some of it off.

Take her to an emergency room and let the professionals handle it.
