Ingrown Toenails: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment

What is Ingrown Toenail?

Ingrown toenail occurs when the edges or corners of your nails grow into the skin next to the nail. Your big toe is most likely to get an ingrown toenail.

You can treat ingrown toenails at home. However, they can cause complications that might require medical treatment. Your risk of complications is higher if you have diabetes or other conditions that cause poor circulation.

What causes Ingrown Toenails?

Ingrown toenails occur in both men and women. According to the National Health Services (NHS), ingrown toenails may be more common in people with sweaty feet, such as teenagers. Older people may also be at higher risk because toenails thicken with age.

Many things can cause an ingrown toenail, including:

  • cutting toenails incorrectly (Cut straight across, since angling the sides of the nail can encourage the nail to grow into the skin.)
  • irregular, curved toenails
  • footwear that places a lot of pressure on the big toes, such as socks and stockings that are too tight or shoes that are too tight, narrow, or flat for your feet
  • toenail injury, including stubbing your toe, dropping something heavy on your foot, or kicking a ball repeatedly
  • poor posture
  • improper foot hygiene, such as not keeping your feet clean or dry
  • genetic predisposition

Using your feet extensively during athletic activities can make you especially prone to getting ingrown toenails. Activities in which you repeatedly kick an object or put pressure on your feet for long periods of time can cause toenail damage and increase your risk of ingrown toenails. These activities include:

  • ballet
  • football
  • kickboxing
  • soccer

What are the symptoms of ingrown toenails?

Ingrown toenails can be painful, and they usually worsen in stages.

Early-stage symptoms include:

  • skin next to the nail becoming tender, swollen, or hard
  • pain when pressure is placed on the toe
  • fluid building up around the toe

Everything You Need To Know About Health Benefits of Avocados

Everything You Need To Know About Health Benefits of Avocados

Avocados may have a range of health benefits, including improving digestion, decreasing the risk of depression, and protecting against cancer.

Also known as an alligator pear or butter fruit, avocados are actually a type of berry. They grow in warm climates.

Avocados provide a substantial amount of monounsaturated fatty acids and are rich in many vitamins and minerals. Incorporating them into a varied, healthy diet can provide a number of benefits.

Benefits

Here are some reasons why avocados can contribute to a healthy diet:

1. Rich in nutrients

Avocados are a source of vitamins C, E, K, and B6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Avocados contain high levels of healthy, beneficial fats, which can help a person feel fuller between meals. Eating fat slows the breakdown of carbohydrates, which helps keep blood sugar levels stable.

Roughly half an avocado, or 100 grams (g), contains:

  • 160 calories
  • 14.7 g of fat
  • 8.5 g of carbohydrates
  • 6.7 g of fiber
  • less than 1 g of sugar

Fat is essential for every single cell in the body. Eating healthy fats supports skin health, enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and even helps support the immune system.

2. Healthy for the heart

In every 100 g of avocado there are 76 milligrams of a natural plant sterol called beta sitosterol. Regularly consuming beta sitosterol and other plant sterols may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, which are important for heart health.

3. Great for vision

Avocados contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two phytochemicals present in eye tissue. They provide antioxidant protection to help minimize damage, including from UV light.

The monounsaturated fatty acids in avocados also support the absorption of other beneficial fat-soluble antioxidants, such as beta carotene. As a result, adding avocados to the diet may help reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration.

4. May help prevent osteoporosis

Half an avocado provides approximately 18% of the daily value of vitamin K.

This nutrient is often overlooked but is essential for bone health. Taking in enough vitamin K can support bone health by increasing calcium absorption and reducing the urinary excretion of calcium.

5. Components may prevent cancer

Studies have not yet assessed a direct link between avocado consumption and a reduction in cancer risk. However, avocados do contain compounds that may help prevent the onset of some cancers.

Research has associated an optimal intake of folate with a reduced risk of developing colon, stomach, pancreatic, and cervical cancers. However, the mechanism behind this association remains unclear. Half of an avocado contains roughly 59 mcg of folate, 15% of the daily value.

Avocados also contain high levels of phytochemicals and carotenoids, which may have anticancer properties. Studies have shown that carotenoids, specifically, may protect against cancer progression.

A 2013 review highlighted the potential benefits of avocado consumption in relation to breast, oral, and throat cancers. However, these associations are typically the result of test tube studies, not controlled human trials. Further research is necessary to confirm these associations.

Laser Treatment For Apthous Ulcers (Canker Sores)

What Are Apthous Ulcers or Canker Sores?

Oral Apthous Ulcers (Canker Sores) are one of the most common types of mouth sores. They are a painful round or oval ulcerations that form inside the mouth. They have a white membrane-coated center that is surrounded by a red border.

These lesions first appear as a raised, reddened area that may have a tingling sensation. It then transforms into an ulceration that may become as large as 1/4 of an inch. Without treatment canker sores can be extremely painful and last an average of two weeks.

What Causes These Canker Sores?

The cause of Aphthous ulcers is not completely understood. Some studies suggest a genetic component others point to Dysregulation of the immune system.

Common causes of canker sores:

  • Autoimmune Diseases – ( E.G. Crohn’s Disease, HIV-AIDS, Lupus).
  • Bacterial Infection (Strep).
  • Dietary Issues (Vitamin deficiency).
  • Food Allergies (Wheat, Dairy, Berries, Nuts).
  • Hormonal Changes (Pregnancy, Menopause).
  • Mechanical Trauma (Orthodontic Wires, Cuts, Scrapes).
  • Psychological Stress (Emotional Stress especially if combined with sleep deprivation).
  • Viral Infection (Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, Mono, HHV-6, HHV-8).

How are Lasers Used in The Treatment of Apthous Ulcers (Canker Sores)?

The gentle laser light is focused directly at the canker sore and promotes healing through “photo-biostimulation” deep within the tissues. Laser treatment is state-of-the-art and is extremely effective in treating oral mucosal sores on the lips and in the mouth.

Benefits of Laser Therapy

  • Treatment causes no discomfort during or after the laser.
  • The stinging and/or pain sensation is eliminated within seconds of treatment.
  • Healing time rapid and uneventful (most heal within a matter of days).
  • After treatment sores will reoccur less frequently and with less intensity.

The Comprehensive Guide To Chemical Exfoliation

The Comprehensive Guide To Chemical Exfoliation

Chemical Exfoliation is a critical component in the skincare process and, when performed properly, can result in radiant skin. But, if performed incorrectly, exfoliation can ruin your life (This is an exaggeration, but it is pretty bad). If you’re ready to take your skincare regimen to the next level, continue reading:

1. Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs):

While all AHAs exfoliate, there are some distinctions between the various types of AHAs. Regardless of these distinctions, you should always wear sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage, sunburns, and age spots, as AHAs make your skin more photosensitive. The following are the various types of AHAs:

a. Glycolic acid 

Glycolic Acid is the most prevalent type of AHA and is well-known worldwide. It is derived from sugarcane and is highly exfoliating. The acid penetrates deeply into the skin to provide the necessary exfoliation. Additionally, it contains antimicrobial characteristics that may help acne-prone skin avoid breakouts. It is ideal for those with normal, mixed, or oily skin types, but may aggravate those with extremely dry or sensitive skin.

b. Lactic Acid 

It is generated from lactose, which is found in milk. Additionally, it is well-known for its considerable exfoliation, anti-aging properties, pore minimization, and hyperpigmentation treatment. If you have never used lactic acid, you should look for products with a concentration of between 5% and 10%. It is kinder to the skin than glycolic acid and is therefore a better alternative for those with sensitive skin.

c. Mandelic Acid 

It is the mildest form of AHAs due to its huge molecular size, which enables it to function solely on the skin’s surface, making it the greatest choice for sensitive skin types. It is produced from almond extracts and aids in pore reduction and texture improvement. This kind of AHA is suitable for all skin types due to its gentle exfoliating properties.

2. BHAs (Betahydroxy Acids)

They go deeper into the skin to unclog pores, reduce sebum production, and exfoliate dead skin cells. BHAs are primarily utilized in the treatment of acne and sun damage. It is more suited to those with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin.

a. Salicylic acid

This is the most popular kind of BHA and is widely used to treat acne-related conditions. Additionally, it lowers skin inflammation, which is a blessing for those with acne-prone, oily skin.

b. Polyhydroxyalkanes (Polyhydroxy Acid)

This is the most recent acid to enter the world of exfoliation. They are classified as AHAs but have a much larger molecular size than other AHAs. They are non-irritating, hydrate the skin, and are gentler on the skin than any other method of exfoliation.

This concludes your tour on Chemical Exfoliation; I hope you gained some knowledge and had a good time!

Infected Ear Piercing: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment

Infected Ear Piercing: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment

An ear piercing is a hole through your earlobe or the cartilage in your middle or upper ear. An infected ear piercing may be red, swollen, sore, warm, itchy or tender. Sometimes the piercing oozes blood or white, yellow or greenish pus.

A new piercing is an open wound that can take several weeks to fully heal. During that time, any bacteria (germs) that enter the wound can lead to infection.

What causes infected ear piercings?

If bacteria gets into a new piercing, it can lead to infection. You may expose your new piercing to harmful bacteria by:

  • Getting your ears pierced in an unhygienic environment or with unsterilized equipment.
  • Touching your ears with dirty hands.
  • Removing your earrings before the piercing heals.
  • Neglecting to clean your new piercings daily.
  • Swimming or submerging your head in a pool, hot tub, lake or river before your piercings fully heal.

What are the symptoms of infected ear piercings?

Some pain and redness are part of the normal healing process for pierced ears. It can be easy to confuse those with signs of infection. Symptoms that may indicate an infection include:

  • Discharge coming out of the piercing.
  • Fever.
  • Redness, warmth or swelling around the piercing.
  • Tenderness in the pierced earlobe or cartilage.

What are the complications of infected ear piercings?

Leaving an infected piercing untreated can result in a more severe infection or an abscess (a swollen area filled with pus). Upper ear piercings are more likely to get infected. Left untreated, these infections can spread into your body (called a systemic infection).

How are infected ear piercings treated?

Your healthcare provider may recommend a variety of treatments to help an infected ear piercing heal. These may include:

  • Applying a warm compress to the infected earlobe or cartilage.
  • Rinsing the infected earlobe with sterile saline.
  • Using antibiotic ointment on the affected area.
  • Taking oral antibiotics for more severe infections.

How can I prevent a pierced ear infection?

Taking good care of your piercings is key to preventing infection. You should:

  • Leave your earrings in day and night until the piercings fully heal.
  • Wash your hands before touching your earlobes or cartilage.
  • Wash the piercing twice daily with a mild soap or cleanser.
  • Apply rubbing alcohol and/or antibiotic ointment to the area twice daily.
  • Gently rotate the earrings daily after applying antibiotic ointment or petroleum jelly to lubricate the piercing.

Tips on How to Perform an Easy Home Hair Spa

Daily dust and pollutants may wreak havoc on your hair. Blow-dryers, hair straighteners, and even hair dye can exacerbate the damage. Your daily shampoo is insufficient to heal damaged hair and replenish lost moisture.

Tips on How to Perform an Easy Home Hair Spa
Tips on How to Perform an Easy Home Hair Spa

Here are some measures you can take to perform an easy hair spa at home.

  1. Massage oil into your hair and scalp.

Begin the hair spa with an oil massage to hydrate and stimulate the hair and scalp. You can use any hair oil, however olive and coconut oils are excellent choices due to their beneficial properties for hair. All you have to do is gently massage the oil into your skin; this will assist you in relaxing and also aid in stress reduction.

  1. Using a steamer or a cloth

The last step is to steam your hair to ensure that the nutrients in the oil adequately permeate your hair cuticle. Use a steamer or soak a towel in hot water, squeeze out excess water, and wrap the heated towel around your head. Rep to this step until the towel feels cool to the touch. Allow the steam to circulate correctly for approximately 15 minutes before proceeding to the next stage.

  1. Rinse the oil out

It’s now time to shampoo your hair. Wash your hair with a sulfate-free gentle shampoo. Cleanse your hair thoroughly to remove all dirt and grease.

  1. Use hair spa cream

The most critical stage in any hair spa treatment is the application of a deep conditioning hair spa cream. If you do not have hair spa cream on hand, you can make a homemade hair mask using curd, egg, banana, and honey. Allow the hair mask to sit in your hair for 20 minutes.

  1. Concluding rinse

Finally, rinse your hair to remove any remaining hair spa cream. Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel or blow drying it. Instead, let it dry naturally. You can perform this hair treatment at home on a weekly basis to restore your hair to its natural state of health.

6 Ways You Should Know To Treat Razor Bumps Quickly

6 Ways You Should Know To Treat Razor Bumps Quickly

Razor bumps are ingrown hairs that develop after shaving or using other hair removal techniques, such as waxing or plucking. The medical term for razor bumps is pseudofolliculitis barbae.

Ingrown hairs develop when hair starts to grow back into the skin, rather than up and out. After removing hair by shaving, waxing, or plucking, the hair may curl and turn inward. As the new skin cells grow over the hair, it becomes trapped and causes a bump to form.

Razor bumps can develop on any area of the body where a person shaves or removes hair, including the face, head, legs, underarms, and pubic area.

Treatment

Razor bumps can range in size from small to large, and they can be red or have a white, pus-filled bump.

Although nothing can make them go away instantly, there are several strategies that can help remove them faster and allow the skin to heal.

1. Tweeze

If the ingrown hair is visible, it may be helpful to use sterile, pointed tweezers to pull it out.

Removing the trapped hair could get rid of the razor bump quickly. A person should sterilize the tweezers with alcohol and cleanse the skin and hands with soap and water before tweezing.

If the hair is not visible on the surface of the skin, using tweezers could make the problem worse. The tweezers could injure the skin, causing more irritation and infection.

A person should not attempt to pick or squeeze the bumps, as they could get worse or cause scarring.

2. Use salicylic acid

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that helps exfoliate, or peel, skin cells. It can penetrate oil glands in the skin to unclog pores as well as fight inflammation.

Salicylic acid works to alleviate razor bumps and slough off dead skin cells. This allows the ingrown hair to make its way out of the pore. It also reduces the appearance of the bump.

Natural Gemstones Are A Star Ingredient In Beauty Products

If you thought gemstones were only to be worn as jewellery, you are wrong. These pretty, sparkly semiprecious stones aren’t just reserved for fashion. Gemstones can and are being used in the beauty space too. And this isn’t some sort of new trend either. Gemstones are naturally occurring minerals and evidentially they have been used in many beauty formulations ever since they’ve been discovered by mankind. 

The legendary Egyptian queen Cleopatra, known as one of the most beautiful woman the world has ever known, first made popular the use of glow-boosting gemstones for beautifying purposes as she used them in her beauty rituals for intense healing and anti-ageing benefits. History states that chunks of gold and rose quartz were placed in her bath water to create her very own crystal-infused water to bathe with to reap their varied beautifying benefits. 

Egyptians would also create eyeshadow by mixing powdered malachite with animal fat or vegetable oils to create a rich green pigment to dress their eyelids with. Women in Mesopotamia would use crushed gemstones like rubies and others to add lustrous colour and shimmer to their lips which was their own luxurious form of lipstick. 

Other than possessing natural minerals due to its all-organic composition, natural crystals are also said to have an effect on the chakras within your body and helps balance them in order to positively impact mental health and boost one’s mood. This is the reason why spas use gemstones in various methods for holistic healing purposes. Jade rollers and GuaSha tools are also made of gemstones because it is believed to have healing and calming benefits for the skin.
