Do you think getting a manicure and pedicure at the beauty parlour is safe, or could it potentially cause some harm? And how do I know which are the best types of these treatments to choose?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
when done properly, but there are potential risks:
Benefits
- Improved nail health: Trimming, cutting, and filing can help maintain healthy nails.
- Relaxation and pampering: Massages and other treatments can be calming and rejuvenating.
- Aesthetic appeal: Manicures and pedicures can enhance the appearance of your nails and feet.
Risks
- Infection: Improper sanitation and hygiene can lead to fungal or bacterial infections.
- Cuticle damage: Aggressive cuticle removal or pushing can cause bleeding, pain, or infection.
- Nail damage: Over-filing, cutting, or drilling can weaken or damage nails.
Best Manicure and Pedicure Options
- Sanitary and hygienic salons: Choose salons with good reputation, proper sanitation, and hygienic practices.
- Gel or dipping powder: These options are less damaging than traditional acrylics.
- Natural nail care: Opt for nail care that focuses on natural nail health, rather than excessive decoration.

View allI'm noticing that the skin on either side of my nose is turning black, and it seems to be getting worse with each passing day. I'm really worried about this. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can make it stop or reduce it?
The blackening of the skin on both sides of your nose may be due to a condition called seborrheic dermatitis. I recommend using a topical antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice daily on the affected areas. In addition, you can use a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream once daily to reduce inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid picking or scratching at the skin. If the condition does not improve or worsens, please follow up with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

That could be due to Dehydration or lack of moist or vitamin deficiency,stay hydrated and consume balanced diet, that would solve your problem,you also use lip balm for additional care
