Patients having frequent manicures and pedicures may be more vulnerable to the inherent trauma (20). For moderate or severe paronychia, topical antibacterials or silver nitrate cauterization have been suggested to be useful (16,21).

Published in Archana Singal, Shekhar Neema, Piyush Kumar, Nail Disorders, 2019
Definition – Manicuring is a process by which fingernails are cleaned, shaped, and sometimes augmented by the application of a nail lacquer or other nail enhancement. The pedicure is analogous to the manicure, but involves toenails and the smoothening of the sole or filing of any calluses on the plantar surface of the foot.3

Plan a monthly period expressly for pedicures. This is more easily done with two persons, since feet need to be soaked first in warm water before trimming, and that is awkward in a wheel chair. This is also an appropriate time for cleaning and oiling the skin in the areas between the toes not readily accessible.

Standing for a long time while working, exhibiting repetitive movements, not being able to maintain an upright posture due to the work done and long working hours cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), pain and injuries to be seen frequently in hairdressers [1]. As a result of these, a decrease in job performance, taking time off work due to health conditions, job dissatisfaction, early retirement and a decrease in quality of life may occur [2]. Knowing that musculoskeletal problems are experienced while performing the profession of hairdresser necessitated risk assessments of hairdressers in their work conditions. In this context, the posture and joint positions of the person affected during hair washing, hair cutting and combing, performing styling applications such as using blow dryers and curling irons, manicure, pedicure, shaving and many other procedures, and repetitive movements may lay the foundation for overuse injuries [2,3]. For example, during 13% of a hairdresser’s routine workday, they have their arms in an elevation position of at least 60° [4]. Keeping the arm elevated for a long time due to work can cause work-related neck and shoulder pain [4]. On the other hand, it is possible to explain the pathophysiological changes in the muscle and tendon structures in the shoulder girdle and the cause of pain with the effect of circulation in the neck and shoulder muscles and the persistence of mechanical pressure [4].
More Than Beauty: Meeting Patients' Aesthetic Needs
Published in Oncology Issues, 2021
Survivorship support programs are a crucial element of comprehensive cancer care. Without them, patients currently in treatment or post-treatment may face unexpected physical and psychological challenges without professional support. As the manager of Wellspring, a cancer resource center located just two miles from Valley Health Cancer Center at Winchester Medical Center in Virginia, I understand the importance of providing holistic care that meets the body, mind, and spiritual needs of our patients. Wellspring is a support service of the cancer center, which is funded by the Valley Health Oncology Service Line and the Winchester Medical Center Foundation. We offer our patients with cancer and other chronic illnesses services such as: A hair salonWig fittingNatural manicure and pedicure servicesLymphedema sleevesCompression stockingsHerbal foot bathsPost-surgical camisolesMeeting space for support groups.
Mycobacterium abscessus felon complicated with osteomyelitis: not an ordinary nail salon visit

Osteomyelitis secondary to M. abscessus is very rare and occurs usually after a penetrating trauma. Cases of foot osteomyelitis by M. abscessus after a flat foot reconstruction and following a plantar puncture wound have been reported [4,18]. Another interesting case was described by Yen-Chun et al., who reported a case of calcaneus osteomyelitis that resembled a tumor [19]. Interestingly, no history of trauma was endorsed by the affected patient. Other areas involved in cases of osteomyelitis have been the lumbar spine, and the mandible [20,21]. In the latter, osteomyelitis was associated with pulpotomy procedures and root canal treatments [21,22]. To our knowledge, no cases of osteomyelitis following manicures or pedicures have been reported in the literature to date.
