I’m sure you like having nice-looking nails. Acrylic nails are a popular choice for fingernails. Some stylists will also use them on your toenails. This may be quite inconvenient, and it has the potential to result in pain and infection.
Why Do People Cover Up Their Toenails
There are a variety of reasons why people feel compelled to hide their natural toenail. To begin with, your toenail might be infected with a fungus. Toenails get thick and yellow due to fungus. Even after the infection is treated, the toenail takes at least nine months to grow out.
Trauma is another reason for thick, discolored toenails. On our feet, trauma is common: we might bump our toes, stub our toes, or have our toes stepped on. Another possible reason for this could be that your toes keep hitting the end or top of your shoe. While the damage is usually temporary, it is possible that the damage will be permanent, requiring you to find a solution to conceal it.
The Issue with Acrylic Nails
Acrylic nails are rigid and stiff. This isn’t a problem on your fingernails, but it is when you put your foot into a shoe. As you walk and make contact with a shoe, your toenails flex. The nail would embed into your toe if it didn’t have this flexibility, resulting in an ingrown toenail. Even if the pressure is only applied for a brief period of time, it might result in a serious toe infection. This infection will need a visit to the doctor’s office. It’s the same way we’d deal with a normal ingrown toenail. To avoid these issues, it’s best to stay away from artificial nails.
Keryflex Is a Product That Can Help You
At DeNiel Foot and Ankle Center, our foot specialist has a way for you to get your toes back in shape— Keryflex. Keryflex is a keratin resin that is put to your toenail to give it a healthy appearance. Keratin is the same component that makes up your natural nails. It is flexible, unlike artificial nails, and will not create the same issues as acrylic nails. As with a typical toenail, you may apply nail polish and nail polish remover.
During sandal season, men frequently come in to have a Keryflex toenail applied to damaged or fungal nails. We can remove the gloss from the nails so no one can tell you have anything except your own toenails.
