Manicure can easily lead to paronychia and onychomycosis

　　Xiaohong is a girl who loves beauty. A few days ago, she had a manicure at a manicure stall in a market in front of her home. After the manicurist took turns using nail clippers and files, polishing and filing, in just ten minutes, the nails on Xiaohong's hands changed their appearance. Not only were they bright and beautiful, but there were also many beautiful patterns painted on the small nails. However, within a few days, Xiaohong’s nails became red and swollen. She quickly went to see a doctor and was diagnosed with Paronychia。

　　Nowadays, the sparkling style on the fingers is favored by more and more girls, and nail salons in large shopping malls and markets are also very popular. Painted nails and crystal nails make many beauty lovers female Rushing like a duck. However, medical experts point out that this kind of beauty is very risky. Due to worrying sanitary conditions, manicure can easily lead to cross-infection of tinea manuum, onychomycosis, paronychia, etc. disease。

　　Hospital skin Deputy Chief Physician Ke Gao Yanqing pointed out that in informal small nail salons, the manicure tools are not thoroughly disinfected, the quality of the nail polish is not guaranteed, the manicure skills are poor and can easily damage the skin, and the manicurists have not received professional training and are unable to healthy Certificate and employment certificate. Experts also pointed out that there is a layer of substance on the surface of the nail that is like tooth enamel, which can protect it from corrosion. If you file off the surface of your nails, your fingernails will lose their protective layer and lose their resistance to corrosion by acidic or alkaline substances. Frequent manicure can make your nails break easily and turn yellow or black, which affects your health. Frequent manicures may cause a vicious cycle, eventually causing the skin around the nails to become red, swollen and pus-filled. This is mainly because after the nail cuticle is removed, the nail matrix loses its protection, and the subcutaneous tissue can easily become red, inflamed, swollen and painful. If the infection is severe, it will quickly suppurate and form paronychia. If it occurs repeatedly, it will eventually become chronic paronychia.

　　At the same time, Deputy Chief Physician Gao Yanqing also emphasized that unhygienic nail art equipment is the biggest health hazard. The manicure tools provided to customers by manicure stalls are unclean; the towels, tweezers, scissors and other tools used cannot be "disinfected for each customer" at all; the manicure tools are often just sprayed with a watering can filled with alcohol without formal and strict disinfection, because onychomycosis and tinea manuum are caused by fungal infections, and paronychia is often caused by bacteria or fungi, and alcohol disinfection has no effect on fungi. If you use such tools to perform manicures, you can easily be infected with tinea manuum and onychomycosis. Once your fingers are scratched, you may also be infected with infectious diseases such as hepatitis.

　　Furthermore, most nail polishes now do not have Chinese symbols on the packaging and labels, and are unqualified nail polishes. Their most prominent problem is the use of banned pigments, and their ingredients contain a large amount of fluorescent agents that may cause cancer. Many epidermis polishers and nail enhancers used for manicures have unclear ingredients and may contain toxic substances.
