How to prevent inflammatory and infectious complications of onychocryptosis or ingrown toenail
The complexity of the ungual apparatus makes us understand how even simple daily actions can alter its balance and morphofunctional characteristics: this is exactly what happens with the pathogenesis of onychocryptosis (ingrown toenail). In this fairly common process, a portion of the nail plate (the hardest part commonly called “nail”) penetrates into the adjacent soft […]
→Dry and sensitive skin: the key role of the lipid component
Foot skin dryness or xerosis is associated with the alteration of the hydrolipidic film that normally protects skin from the surrounding environment. A variety of physiological and external factors can lead to this condition, acting in combination or separately: aging, hormonal changes, the use of aggressive detergents, the intake of certain drugs (e.g. chemotherapeutical ones) […]
→Active protection against foot and nail mycosis
Daily prevention is essential to counteract fungal infections of foot skin (dermatophytosis) and nail skin (onychomycosis), especially for patients with immune system dysfunction such as diabetes related. Careful cleansing, performed with specific products, protects against recurrent and more serious bacterial infections, which are very difficult to treat. Dermatophytosis initially involves erythema, itching and skin flaking […]
→A new remedy to regulate foot sweating
Hyperhidrosis, or chronic excessive sweating, is a functional disorder with important repercussions on the patient’s psychophysical health. It is often perceived and treated as a mere “aesthetic” problem, without considering the biological mechanisms that regulate sweating. The possible complications related to hyperhidrosis, however, require a specific approach that aims not only to ensure the effectiveness […]
→Adelmidrol for topical use, a step forward in podiatry
One of the most important impulses to the development of podological medical discipline comes from scientific research on neuro-inflammatory processes. Today the molecule of choice for the control of various foot pathologies is Adelmidrol, an aliamide able to enhance the physiological mechanisms of protection of the skin tissues and, thus, limit the neuro-inflammatory response resulting […]
→Plantar bromhidrosis, can interfere with our relationships
Sweating is a complex biological phenomenon, extraordinarily important for keeping body temperature within physiological limits, is finely controlled at peripheral and central level. The activity of the sweat glands – eccrine and apocrine – is coordinated by the district neuro-endocrine system, which is in turn regulated by the mast cell, a dermal-epidermal tissue-resident cell, with […]
