i don't just throw them away once they are removed from my body, OH NOOOOO!!! That's just where the fun begins!! I like to gather them in a pile, pinch them and take a strong wiff. ahhhh, smells funky. then I like to take the big sharp f***ker and pierce my couch with it (Man that f**ker is sharp). Although I am proud of all of my toenail clippings I find myself to usually be proudest of the big one. It usually has many layers to it, It is usually stronger, stinkier and sharper then all the others. I like to scrape the underside of it and sniff the toenail residue (foof! that Stinks so good!!) oh yeah.
Am I alone here? or are you all filthy liars?What is your favorite way to play with your toenail clippings?
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. disgustingWhat is your favorite way to play with your toenail clippings?
yes you are alone
uuuuuuuummmmmmm.....

Why do I have creases across my toenails?
I have deep creases running across the toenails on both my big toes, about a quarter of the way up the nail. Does anyone know what causes this?Why do I have creases across my toenails?
Hi Mallory i saw a question you posted months ago about being sick i tried sending you an IM but you dont allow it. Are you still ill have you been diagnosed yet cos im convinced you have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). I have it and have the exact same symptoms as you so please look it up
Most cardiologists dont know what POTS is so wouldn't know what to look for in the test, i had the tilt test and i was told i was fine, but i sent the results on to a POTS specialist and they confirmed its POTS. Your symptoms are typical of POTS

Can I still get a pedicure if I have toenail psoriasis?
Here's a picture of how my big toenail looks kind of: (and you don't actually have to look, it's just in case you're wondering what I mean- it's not my actual foot)
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h鈥?/a>
So I've never had a pedicure before, but I want to get my toenails painted white before my wedding, but I dunno if they'll do my nails if they look like this. I'd be grossed out if I was them, even though I don't have a fungus or anything contagious. Will they still do my nails? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.Can I still get a pedicure if I have toenail psoriasis?
Hi, as a beauty therapist myself, a pedicure treatment would be carried out. The condition is not contagious and is not a contra-indication. Meaning that treatment cannot be carried out due to the safety of the therapist and client.
All beauty therapist should be professional at all time, so you will be fine for a polish.
Enclosed is an article about toenail psoriasis am sure you will find useful.
Feet Psoriasis
It occurs in 25 to 50 percent of patients with psoriasis. The goal is to find a safe effective treatment with the help of your doctor. Several studies have been performed to find oral medications to help the problem, but few have been successful. Know the symptoms and prevalence of toenail psoriasis, and learn what treatments are available. Read on to learn how to treat toenail psoriasis.
1. Keep in mind that you will need an examination from your family doctor or podiatrist for a definite diagnosis of toenail psoriasis. Conditions that can be confused with toenail psoriasis include nail fungus, or abnormal growths such as benign or cancerous growths under the nail. Patients with existing psoriasis may not realize that psoriasis can indeed affect the toenails. It's also possible to experience toenail psoriasis without evidence of the disease elsewhere on your body.
.Step2
Know that psoriasis affects approximately 2 percent of the U.S. population. The skin lesions associated with psoriasis are the result of an abnormal immune system response. T cells (immunity enhancers) in the outer and inner layers of the skin (the dermis and epidermis) become overactivated, resulting in skin lesions. It is normal to experience psychological stress and some degree of social shyness. Psoriasis of the nails might be the only place lesions exist, again making a diagnosis important.
Step3
Studies show that effective treatments for psoriasis are still needed. Medications that are currently used to treat all forms of psoriasis include cyclosporine, methotrexate, and systemic retinoids in combination with phytotherapy and topical psoralens, a treatment process known as PUVA (Psoralen, UVA exposure). Calcipotriol, a Vitamin D derivative, can provide some relief. Triamcinolone acetonide suspension can improve the appearance of the nail. Steroids are commonly used by way of injection in and around the nail. Unfortunately, systemic treatment can cause side effects such as increased cholesterol levels, and greater susceptibility to skin cancer and other types of infection. These treatments don鈥檛 work for everyone.
.
Step4
In addition to medical therapy, it鈥檚 important to avoid trauma to the toenails. Pressure can cause splitting, and trauma to the nail beds. It鈥檚 important to keep your nail trimmed. Trauma can make the condition worse. Keep your nails as short as possible. Engage in excellent nail hygiene. Be careful not to injure the area under the nail beds during cleaning. Choose professional grade nail care utensils when cleaning under the nails. Soak your feet in warm water and file thickened nails to improve their appearance. Cut the nail straight across, focusing on small portions at a time. Consider a professional pedicure, or regular visits to a podiatrist. It鈥檚 best to avoid artificial nails because of reactions to glues and polish. Treat underlying conditions, such as nail fungus. Wear shoes that don鈥檛 put pressure on the nail beds.
Step5
Understand that the immune response associated with toenail psoriasis can be suppressed with the drug efalizumab, which was approved last year for psoriasis treatment, following a Phase III clinical trial. Phase IV studies show promise for the successful treatment of toenail psoriasis. Keep your options open by involving yourself in open communication and regular visits with your healthcare provider. Know that research is ongoing, with the recognition that treatment options for all forms of psoriasis are needed. The treatment of toenail psoriasis may take several approaches before individual success is noted.Can I still get a pedicure if I have toenail psoriasis?
Trust me they will paint your toes. If your paying them then they won't care! Good luck! And congratulations =D

Is there any good medicine to stop an ingrowing toenail?
This is my second time having an ingrowing toenail, and I cannot stand the pain of the process of removing the nail from the toe. It is on the big left toe. It started to become sore this morning. Is there any medicines to stop an ingrowing toenail that WORKS FOR YOU? What I mean is the medicines that you could buy at a drug store such as Walgreens or CVS pharmacy? Not prescribed medicine. Please help me. I don't want to go through pain like the first removal of my ingrown toenail.Is there any good medicine to stop an ingrowing toenail?
You can put tea tree oil essential oil on it. It's got antiseptic properties, and will help prevent/heal infection. The way to prevent the ingrown toenail is to cut your toenail straight across--don't pull it or cut with curved clippers.Is there any good medicine to stop an ingrowing toenail?
its better to get it removed, then it cant come back, but the medicine never works. so i would recomend getting it removed. i have had 6 done and the 2nd is always better than the 1st.
if you cant handle pain, go to a doctor.
i just used a clean knife and cut it out and the skin around it. and i have never had one again
i dont know about meds but getting a pedicure helps! i had one and got a pedicure and it made a huge diffrence!blackheads

I'm not sure if this is an ingrown toenail or not..help?
I usually know what ingrown toenails feel like..so I'm kind of thinking I don't have one..but then again I don't know.
Last night (I know this is gross) I had skin or something hanging the slighest bit, and I just can't have it because I will obsess over it until it's gone. So I took the nail clippers, grabbed the skin and pulled it down the side of my toe and out. So now it is red, but not swollen. It only hurts bad when I touch it. I'm just really nervous it could actually be an ingrown toenail.
What do you think??I'm not sure if this is an ingrown toenail or not..help?
I am the same way..a piece of skin hanging off my cuticle...gotta pull it.....Not an ingrown nail..it probably feels hot to the touch? It will grow back alright..just put some Neosporin on it...and leave it alone

Is there something wrong with me?..Colour under my toenail :s?
Okay so I dont think it is that big of a deal... hopefully.
But under my big toe nail it looks like there are different shades of colous.. like yellow and darkish red blotch and almost looks like a dead persons toe or something, and the nail on top grow kind of wavy, if you felt the texture on top.It feels normal and everything which is a good thing. But doesnt look nice. But mind you, it doesnt look as brutal as you might picture it but I tend to notice a lot about my appearance.
Am I the only person who gets this?Is there something wrong with me?..Colour under my toenail :s?
Fungal nail infection. Go to the chemist..they have cream.Is there something wrong with me?..Colour under my toenail :s?
If you stubbed or smushed your toe at one point, it may have caused bleeding/bruising under the nail, which makes the nail grow funny, esp. if it's already been hit.
If not, maybe you have an infection; go to the podiatrist.
sounds like fungal infection. Apply neat tea tree oil at least twice a day for at least 8 weeks until it has grown out

Running pain: what do I do to stop my toenail from cutting the toe next to it?
I have a weird problem that I've noticed since I've started a running training program. Basically, one of my toes on each foot curves in a little and touches the toe next to it. This is totally natural, and never bothersome on a day-to-day basis. But when I run, I find that the nail from one toe cuts into the skin of the next toe it touches.
Does anyone (especially runners) know what I can do to stop my toenail from cutting another toe's skin? I'm sick and tired of having blood on my socks after a run because my skin is being cut.
BTW I have properly-fitting shoes and moisture-wicking, non-cotton socks. I always keep my nails manicured and filed with rounded edges. Also, this is NOT an ingrown toenail: it is a toenail cutting into a DIFFERENT toe.Running pain: what do I do to stop my toenail from cutting the toe next to it?
Maybe try putting a bandaid or gauze around it when you run.Running pain: what do I do to stop my toenail from cutting the toe next to it?
Moleskin where the cutting happens, just replace it every time you go. Its strong enough that you should be fine as long as you don't go more than 10 miles or so. It's also sticky enough that a little foot sweat wont melt it off. Should be able to get it at any pharmacy or large grocery store.
Ouch, i hate it when that happens. You should try to keep your toenails cut as short as possible, and you can probably even use mole skin in between your toes to preventing scratching and rubbing together.
You need to choose between having pedicures and running. Trim the nails. They are in shoes. Few people see them.. Your body is always on display so run and keep up that awesome figure.
You need to keep your toenails cut short as possible. Good Luck!
bandaid and socks
toe-tape... my fave!!
