Nail Service Considerations

  • Nail services should not be performed if a client shows any signs of infection on their nails.

Common Nail Disorders

  • Eight common disorders include Onychia, Onychocryptosis, Onycholysis, Onychomadesis, Nail Psoriasis, Paronychia, Tinea Pedis, and Onychomycosis.

Onychia

  • Defined as inflammation of the nail matrix, affecting the growth and structure.

Onychocryptosis

  • This condition is characterized by an ingrown nail, where the nail grows into the surrounding skin.

Onycholysis

  • Involves the lifting of the nail plate from the nail bed, which can lead to further complications.

Onychomadesis

Nail Psoriasis

  • A noninfectious condition marked by tiny pits or significant roughness on the nail plate, impacting aesthetics and comfort.

Paronychia

  • A bacterial infection that leads to inflammation of the tissue surrounding the nail, often characterized by redness and swelling.

Tinea Pedis

  • Also known as athlete's foot, this is a fungal infection that occurs on the feet.

Onychomycosis

  • A fungal infection affecting the natural nail plate, leading to discoloration and potential nail deterioration.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

  • A common bacteria responsible for nail infections, highlighting the importance of understanding its impact on nail health.

Infection Control Practices

  • Avoid transferring infections by disinfecting metal tools, discarding single-use items, and sanitizing surfaces before and after services.

Cosmetologist Limitations

  • Cosmetologists should not provide treatment for nail infections but can identify potential disorders and refer clients to a physician.

Ingrown Toenail Treatment
