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.

I'm taking Perfectil tablets because I want to lighten my skin. It's been a week now, but I'm not sure when to expect to see any changes. Could it take a month or maybe two? I'm just wondering how long I should wait to notice a difference.
Gynaecologist opinion is advised.

I've been having these white patches on my scrotal area, and they're itching quite a bit. A friend mentioned it could be a fungal thing, so I tried using some anti-fungal powder. The itching's getting a bit better each day, but the white patches aren't really shrinking. What do you think I should do next?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection such as jock itch. In addition to using an antifungal powder, you can also try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply it to the affected area twice a day for about 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the white patches do not improve or if they worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
