Toenail fungus and fingernail fungus can cause inflammation around the nail (paronychia) as well as 
lifting of the nail plate from the nail bed (onycholysis). Herpes infection can also cause painful 
swelling and blisters near the nail. Older individuals are often affected by toenail fungus infection 
(onychomycosis) associated with athlete's foot. 
This is the medical term used to describe the problem of discoloration of nails. One or more white 
spots appear on the surface of the nail. It can affect one or more than one of the nails. Usually, it is 
caused because of some kind of injury on the base of the nail. These spots disappear as soon as the 
affected part of the nail regrows. Usually, the process of regrowing nails need almost eight months. 
So the spots will be gone after one year. Sometimes, it may happen due to deficiency of zinc or 
because of diseases like cirrhosis. 
The American Academy of Dermatology reports that many serious health conditions and diseases 
can be detected by a change in the color of the fingernails. The most common conditions revealed by 
nail color include liver disease, white nails; kidney disease, half pink and half white nails; heart 
conditions, red nail bed; and diabetes, yellowish nails. While color changes of fingernails have been 
associated with serious diseases, it is possible to have color changes without serious health 
implications. If you have changes in fingernail color, consult your doctor to rule out disease, 
infection or illness. 
So what results did I experience? First off let me just say that my nails were the most beautiful 
they'd ever been when I "rubbed" regularly. They had a gorgeous natural shine to them. Not only 
that, they were thick and strong. Retaining nail length was not an issue. So even for this result 
alone, I think the practice was worth it. Now let's talk about my hair. When my friend first alerted 
me to this technique, I was well into my relaxer stretch. I was already packing. »¿ Defence Drive

was all smiles over the amount of length I'd achieved in the duration of stretch. »¿ Medical

Water-based acrylic nail polish was formulated in 2003, due to the environment threats caused by 
enamel-based ones. The water-based formula is called acrylic polymer emulsion Similar to the 
enamel version, it also contains tiny pieces of resin, which are suspended freely in the water 
solution. When applied on acrylic nails, some amount of water evaporates, whereas the remaining 
part gets absorbed by the fingernail. As a result, a strong polish is left behind due to the fusion of 
the resin pieces. Water-based polish dries faster and is easier to remove, as it peels off completely. 
There are, of course, medical treatments for ingrown nails. Doctors are able to fairly quickly cut out 
the portion of your nail that's ingrown, assuming there's no infection. Antibiotics may be necessary if 
infection is present. There are also procedures available in which the sides of the big toe's nail are 
cut and removed, and a botox-like paralyzing agent is injected into the cuticle at the bottom corners 
of the nail. This prevents the very sides of the nails from growing back, thus preventing any 
possibility of ingrown nails later. Talk to your podiatrist, dermatologist or physician about these 
possible treatments.
While artificial nails add instant appeal for those seeking length, wearing artificial nails can be 
damaging to the nail bed long term, and quite expensive. They can also increase your risk for an 
infection. You can keep nails short and trim and looking great with regular manicures of your 
natural nails. If you do wear artificial nails, make sure you have regular manicures with replacement 
of the artifical nails as needed. Maintain Clean Manicure Tools 
Specifically, the study involving 27 medical, dental and pharmacy students examined how periods of 
higher stress (in this case, during final examinations) impacted the skin's response to repeated 
stripping of cellophane tape on the subjects' forearms vs. periods of lower stress (such as after 
returning from winter vacation). Researchers found that it took longer for the skin to recover from 
the minimally invasive tape stripping during periods of perceived higher stress than during less 
stressful periods. 
RICONAILS can be of interest to guitarists who are using toxic/cover methods and who want to get 
their natural nails back. A guitarist who has been using, say, acrylics for some years, and whose 
natural nails are “gone”, can now cease using the acrylics, start using RICONAILS to 
play, and begin an intense program of nail rejuvenation that involves using numerous products that 
are applied topically to the nail surfaces, as well as certain vitamins and foods ingested daily to 
maximize fingernail growth and health.
