Nails are basically hardened skin cells. Nails made frequently of keratin, a protein found in the skin and hair; nails are made by living cells in the fingers and toes. Nails develop faster in summer than winter. Men's nails grow more quickly than women's. The nails on a person's dominant hand (hand most used) grow faster. The growth rate of fingernails outpaces toenails. Nail disorders affect a large number of older adults. As we age, nails thicken and become more susceptible to fungal nail infections. Nail Fungus also known as Onychomycosis, nail fungus is very common worldwide. Nail fungus is caused by tiny organisms that infect the fingernails and toenails. Nail fungus thrives in hot, dark and moist environments like the conditions found in your shoes and socks. Nail fungus can occasionally extend from one person to another.

Scarring is one of the natural healing processes of the human body. Once the scar tissue starts appearing, you can be sure that the internal tissue layers have healed sufficiently. The issue that we have is most of us do not like to display these scars because they affect our overall appearance. Once you have scar on your body, it is very difficult to eliminate all traces of it without going for a professional scar treatment program. This is the only way to ensure that the skin that has been affected by the scars is restored to its normal condition once again. There are many types of scars, the most common type being the keloid scar. These scars often go beyond the boundaries of the original scar and subsume the entire area with its tissue that may appear bright pink in color. The keloid scar may sometimes be painful to the touch. It is therefore essential to take all the steps necessary to treat this type of scar at the earliest. There are a wide range of treatment options available to eliminate these scars completely. One of the more popular scar removal treatment options is to apply the Scarpin scar removal cream on the affected area. This cream is one of the best topical...more
