How Pedicures Treat Common Foot Conditions and Issues
Pedicures are a crucial option when it comes to effective foot care and health. They aren’t just a soothing session for your weekend. They offer deep health benefits that go beyond.
This blog dives into 4 common foot conditions and issues faced by many and how pedicures treat them.
Cracked Heels
Cracked heels are one of the most common and painful issues related to feet. This is known as heel fissures in medical terms. The condition refers to extremely thickened skin at the back of your heel with splits and cracks. These cracks are very painful and could also lead to bleeding and infections if untreated.
Cracked heels arise mainly due to deep dryness in your soles. This loses the elasticity of skin and causes easy cracking. Another reason for cracked heels is prolonged pressure. This can be due to excessive walking or standing. This can also happen with age.
Pedicures are ideal for treating dryness. Most often, the session includes a soak, which softens the hardened skin before treating. They replenish your feet with nourishing lotions and massages that promote better blood flow.
Ingrown Nails
Nails are a vital part of your feet. But many ruin their nails due to improper trimming at home. Common trimming mistakes include trimming too short, too round, or tearing the nail apart. Cutting too short causes the nail to grow inward. These can also cause them to grow deformed, curl over at the edge, and cause discomfort.
A proper pedicure session helps you trim your nails straight and correctly. The pedicure specialist knows very well which length is suitable to trim and follows a safe process at all times. Unlike at home, they use the proper tools to avoid any trauma to the nails. After trimming, some pedicures even offer nail filing to avoid any sharp points while rounding them too much. This prevents nails from digging in when growing.
Foot Odour
Unpleasant foot odour has become a major issue in modern times. Many individuals, both men and women, suffer a lot from this issue. Foot odour is usually caused by bacteria and moisture combined. Bacterial growth and moisture can be caused by sweaty and unhygienic feet.
Wearing unwashed socks, sweaty feet, and improper cleaning of feet are common causes that lead to foot odour.
Here, pedicures can be used as a hygiene support, not just regular cosmetic care. The exfoliation process of pedicures helps get rid of dead skin where bacteria hides in. The podiatrists make sure no area is missed from this thorough cleanse. They especially focus on cleansing between toes and nail beds.
Dark and dull skin on your Feet
Ever wondered why your feet’s skin is darker even though it is the least exposed to the sun? Most often, this is due to frequent friction and contact. Repeated rubbing from tight socks, shoes, slippers, sandals, and even floor contact causes darkening in your feet.
This can also cause thickened skin, patches, and uneven tone in your feet. With prolonged friction, these symptoms worsen and become harder to get rid of. Darkened feet give you a less appealing impression, making you insecure about your look.
Pedicures are a lifesaver for this situation. They gently exfoliate the dead skin cells, which causes the darkened look, promoting new cell growth. This procedure gradually encourages even texture, tone, and complexion. Although they won’t give instant results, they gradually treat deeper darkened areas with regular care.
