How do you heal a busted toenail? Do I need to see a foot doctor?
Warning: this question is not for the queezy reader, and contains graphic details. I do a lot of social ballroom dancing, and once in a while mishaps happen. A couple months ago somebody stepped on my second toe on my left foot, and the skin underneath the toenail became bruised and purplish. A few days later after the bruising pain stopped, it developed into a scab underneath the toenail, causing the nail to have a higher left-to-right curve over the toe. When I clip my toenails every week or so, the scab never seems to grow out. The toe has no pain whatsoever, but I'd like to remedy my toe's appearance to it's former beauty. Should I bandage it, manicure it, have a doctor see it, or what? I'm worried that the toenail is no longer going to grow straight anymore now that I've cut off so much of the mis-shapen excess parts. If the toenail is mostly removed, do you know if it will eventually grow back again? I would like to know more about the way toenails grow in general.
Toenails are tough. Ever heard that? Tougher than toenails..
But there is a chance that hiding behind your injury you have nail fungus. Perhaps you had it before, in fact. I cannot see your toenail from here so only a doctor or somei=one in the know could tell you for sure, but toenails that grow upward or have thickening can be fungus infected. A damaged toenail has to be pretty damaged to not finally heal. You would have to have something eqaul to a horse stepping on your toe to do irreversable damage.
It sounds like you love your toes, see a doc, be sure you do not have fungal toenail. Easy to treat in the start, hard to treat when it is older and established.
I have seen a lot of fungal toenails in my time. I am against them.
Good luck. Take care.
Why is it called a Manicure for fingernails and a Pedicure for toenails?
It's not like our fingers are called minger and our toes are called poes. This makes no sense. I ask because my wife loves to do both my fingers and toes. I've got the nicest finger and toenails of any redneck computer programmer I know.

what is a silk wrap for nails?do you prefer a pedicure or manicure or manicure for my first spa visit?
I am going to a spa for my birthday and am wondering if I should get a manicure or pedicure? my toenails are all mest up, and short and the skin around them are gross, can they fix them. do facials work?, and do have to be completely naked for a massage? can you wear a takini for a massage? i dont want to show anything! thats ambarrsing! how do you now a spa is good? to get a french manicure, do your nails need to be long?
As a nail tech, I can tell you that getting a pedicure is the BEST thing to go for!!!! Your feet take a beating every day and need the most care... it's also the most relaxing of the spa services--aside from a full massage. For the best experience, avoid those discount nail salons--too much traffic for relaxing.
Silk Wraps are for reinforcing your natural nail, they don't serve well as artificial nails alone. If you have fairly strong natural nails and just need a little extra help in keeping them from breaking this would be a good option for you.
Go for a specialty pedicure! Don't skimp on the price, you want the best!
Things to avoid... foot razors! Only a medical dr should be using blades (most states they are illegal but some get away with it because folks don't know they are) Avoid any tech that's not willing to explain proceedures, and run like the dickens if the footbath isn't clean or they pull their clippers (metal instruments) out of a drawer (they should be in a sanitizer bath or sealed packages) and make sure they use NEW files and such (the disposable stuff).
Massages are great if you like them (I've always been too weird about people touching my body to be comfortable) and no, you don't have to be totally nude. Explain that you are nervous and they will understand... ANY respectable massage therapist will be more than glad to accomidate you to make you comfortable!
What to do before a pedicure and manicure?
I have never had a pedicure or manicure (always did it myself) and thought I would do it for myself before my wedding. Should I trim the fingernails myself? If so how short should I go? Should I do the same for the toenails or let them grow out just a bit for more to work with so I don't ruin the shape?
They do all that for you. You don't have to worry about your feet smelling like corn chips and burnt fajitas when you go in. The will wash your feet too. Maybe just refrain from walking in mud.
What type of manicure or pedicure should i get...i want to look cute?
french manicure....airbrushed? how long do my toenails need to be?
sounds so cute..i am going to get them done!
Defiantly get a Spa Pedicure they are wonderful! French on your toenails would look great. It really doesn't matter how long your toenails are... they can paint them like that at any length.

The beauty spy: on beautiful hands Gone are the days when a quick coat of nail colour and a splattering of hand cream and you could be out the door. For really beautiful hands, start by having regular manicures; polished nails are too good to nibble or to use to do the washing up. |
