Dry cracked
feet are never attractive or comfortable.
Aging and normal activity cause the padding to deteriorate on the soles
of your feet. The feet become more
tender and prone to dryness and injury.
Calluses, dry heels, and thickened cuticles form.
Your feet will
be much more likely to remain healthy if you get regular professional pedicures
and follow a good daily home-care maintenance plan. Professional pedicures can offer temporary relief to people that
suffer from dry rough calluses, dry crusty heels and dry thick cuticles. For home use, there are many moisturizing
and softening products on the market that nurture the tissues and help to maintain
healthy skin.
Daily
home-care maintenance is a very important factor in keeping the feet
healthy. Monthly pedicures by
themselves are not enough to adequately treat dry calluses, dry heels, or dry
cuticles. In order to prevent problems
from reoccurring, the feet should be cared for daily. Natural herbal home-care products will control many foot dryness
problems. Daily home foot care
primarily involves the application of lotion or herbal topical products to
moisturize dry skin, and cuticle oil to moisturize dry cuticles.
People that
have thick, yellow or dark toenails also often suffer from very dry thick skin
on their feet. Fungus infections
frequently affect the condition of both the skin and nails resulting in severe
dryness. If you think you have a skin
or nail fungus infection, you should consult a podiatrist or medical doctor for
advice. Topical liquid fungus
treatments should contain Thymol.
The cuticles
and calluses should NOT be cut. Cutting
this thickened skin will cause it to grow back thicker and quicker. The credo cutting blade implement has been
outlawed by the state of Georgia due to the danger and the lack of proper
sanitation practices. Improper use of
the credo cutting implement will cause bleeding and infection. For public safety, the use of exfoliation
scrubs, pumice stones, foot files, and herbal skin softening products are
recommended instead of the dangerous credo cutting blade implement.
Monthly
professional pedicures and a good daily home-care maintenance routine are the
two keys to proper safe and sanitary foot care. If you need help for dry calluses, dry heels, dry cuticles,
toenail fungus, or ingrown toenails, then get help from a professional licensed
nail technician.
Subungual hematomas are common nailbed injuries caused by blunt or sharp trauma to the nail. The rich vascular supply in the nailbed makes it prone to bleeding. Patients with minor hematomas are typically asymptomatic. Large hematomas may produce enough throbbing pain for patients to seek medical attention.Nailexpert by Wartner
