What causes white spots on nails?

What is it?

White spots on nails are often referred to as Leukonychia. This condition appears as small dots or white spots on nails, or lines underneath the fingernail. The causes for this condition are many. One of the causes can be an allergic reaction to something that came in contact with your nails. For example, gel or acrylic polish, or even cleansers or detergents can cause this type of reaction.

Another cause can be an injury to the nail. For instance, after application of artificial nails or a manicure gone wrong. Albeit rare, funguses can sometimes be the cause and should be checked out if the spots start to grow.

Other causes could be hereditary, the use of certain medicines or vitamins, or mineral deficiencies. In addition, certain illnesses can cause this as well. Talk to your doctor if the condition persists long term.

Treatment

There is not much aside from a nice manicure where we apply polish to mask and blend the spots. If the spots are covering 20% of the nail we recommend seeing a physician as it could be caused by something internal.

Why are my cuticles peeling?

cuticles peeling

What is it?

Cuticles peeling can be a sign of overgrown cuticles. They are basically an overgrowth of the surrounding tissue of the nail bed and the cuticle. The overgrowth is typically caused by neglect/unkept nails. If you have overgrown cuticles you could be at risk of developing infections on or around the nails. Infections can occur due to the overgrowth causing hangnails. Hangnails cause the cuticles to split which opens the skin further to bacterial infections that can be painful.

Treatment

The treatment for peeling cuticles is a manicure. During our manicure service, we push the cuticles back and trim away any loose or dead tissue surrounding the nail bringing it back to a healthy length.

If you want to give yourself a manicure at home, be careful to not push the cuticles back too far. Pushing back too far can be painful and puts you at risk of infection.

Post care

Using a nail brush to clean around the cuticle areas will help keep them at a manageable length. Also, try using hand cream and cuticle oil on a daily basis.

Regular manicures will help if you are prone to overgrown cuticles.

Nail Biting Treatment

What is it?

What is it and is there a nail biting treatment? Nail biting is also known as onychophagy. It is caused by a nervous, compulsive habit of biting your fingernails due to anxiety.

Home tips

Have you tried bitters on your fingernails? Bitters are like a nail polish that tastes horrible so it prevents you from wanting to put your fingers in your mouth.

Some clients have shared with us that having polish or gel polish helps them leave their fingers alone because they look nice.

When painting your nails at home, use polish with a nail strengthening base coat.

Treatment

Manicures help maximize a nail’s growth potential (assuming the client is ready to cease the nail biting). They achieve this through professional nail and cuticle work. A paraffin dip softens the damaged skin surrounding the nail.

Your nails will need to be strengthen up in order to grow past the tip of the finger. Nail hardeners do a really good job in strengthening your nails.

Post care

Use a nail brush as often as possible. We recommend daily hand lotion use, multiple times a day.

Contraindications for Manicures

Book your manicure in Edmonton with Dérmica. Delivering your service safely is always our first concern. Though rare, some medical conditions exist that may present individual harm from a manicure, or a risk of infecting others. This article discusses the contraindications that your Service Provider will be on the lookout for in preparation for your manicure.

Some conditions are contagious and require treatment before your Service Provider can proceed. Other conditions may require modification of service.

Cuts and Wounds

The fingers may be sensitive and inflamed, and in some cases infected. If possible, we will work around open cuts and proceed with caution when shaping and buffing the nails.

Hematomas

A spot of blood caused by injury to the nail bed. In severe cases drainage may be necessary. For the most part, this condition clears on its own by growing out. In mild cases, your Service Provider will proceed but will not buff the tops.

Warts

Warts are small benign growths that appear singularly or in clusters. They are commonly caused by the HPV virus. Warts are contagious, therefore, they must be treated in a clinic or with over the counter remedies before your manicure.

Untreated dermatitis

Conditions that cause the skin to become inflamed, dry, itchy, and rough may result in a service modification. The most common conditions are eczema and psoriasis. Your Service Provider will avoid affected areas.

Fungal infections

Bacterial or fungal infections of the tissue surrounding the nail are often infectious. Affected areas are inflamed and pus may be present. For that reason, you must have the condition treated prior to having your service.

Broken Bones on the hands

Some manicure steps require motor movements that may affect bone healing. As a result, broken bones must have healed prior to having your service.
