I had acrylic nails applied a couple of weeks ago, however yesterday I caught the acrylic nail and it tore up my natual nail underneath, it bled and I now think it has become infected. How will I remove the acrylic nail safely and will I need an Antibiotic?

This is limited information and tells nothing about your skin condition which can help in planning a treatment. A thorough history, clinical examination and appropriate laboratory tests will be needed to solve the mystery. Consider seeing a Dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
