From small to big
Adults don’t let us keep long nails
The school also asks us
to keep our nails clean and tidy every day-短!
In fact, cut the nails so short that they stick to the flesh.
is not scientific
So, how long are the nails healthy?
This has to start from the structure of the nail~
The nails actually look like this: The small nails are mainly composed of nail plate, nail matrix, perithyroid skin, etc. .
Why don’t the nails be cut as short as possible?
I don’t know if you have the habit of cutting your nails very short. If so, what is the length of your deck 5 years ago? Did you find that the deck is getting shorter and shorter?
This is because if we often cut the nails too short, the leading edge of the nail will slowly recede under the external mechanical force.
And the flesh of our fingertips, because of the lack of the suppression of the fingernails, will bulge upwards, forcing the nails to not grow.
Over time, the nail bed becomes shorter and shorter.
Long-term trimmed nails retain 1mm VS habitual meat-cut nails
In addition, the periungual skin will also use its own good elasticity to cover the end of the nail.
If you encounter stubborn nails and domineering periungual skin, the two do not give way to each other, nail end edge part may penetrate the surrounding skin, causing "ingrown nail" phenomenon .
"Ingrown nail" not only damages the periungual skin tissue, if the skin is damaged, it can also allow bacteria to take advantage of the deficiency and form 甲沟炎.
What is the devil of paronychia?
If you ask people who have experienced paronychia how they feel, it is estimated that there is only one word-痛!
How painful is paronychia?
"Once it hurts, I feel that my hands and feet are not my own!"
"I can't wait to chop my hands and feet!"
"I don't dare to wear shoes anymore, I can't walk at all!"#痛 is nothing. If paronychia develops into severe Bacterial Infection Suppurative , it may also cause bacteria to spread into the blood, and even cause systemic sepsis and endanger life.
Don’t procrastinate, because serious patients may need to pull out part or all of their nails.
I heard that right, it is 拔! Means! A!
Similarly, cutting the nail into an arc shape may also form "ingrown nails" and cause paronychia.
So, everybody, please Don’t cut your nails too short or rounded , it is not convenient for work and life (scratching, picking nose, picking ears Etc.), it is also possible to get sick to the upper body!
People with short nails, fingers gradually slipping in the can
Speaking of nails, I have to say that mothers love to forward "The more crescents on the nails, the healthier the nails" There are vertical lines representing body difference " etc."
So, are these claims true? Let’s talk about nails with you today.
The more crescents, the healthier you are?
Actually, The number of crescent teeth has nothing to do with physical health !
If you have crescents, it can only mean that your nails grow fast . The newly grown nails have not had time to "transform" (the new nails are translucent before they are baptized by the years).
In fact, everyone has a small crescent, but some people grow fast, and some people grow slowly and make it invisible. There is no such thing as "the more crescents the healthier the body" The argument.
Fingernails have vertical lines on it, which means the body is poor?
Look at your fingernails first to see if there are such vertical lines
Don’t panic, this does not mean you are unhealthy, it only means you may be old了
With age, the water-locking ability of nails will gradually weaken, so many people's nails are not smooth and flat .
But if it is this kind of pattern, pay attention to
A linear depression appears on the surface of the nail. It is called Beau line in medicine, which is 05588 in human terms.#甲内沉.
Inverted nails may indicate:
Although there is only a small piece of nail, it is closely related to the happiness of our lives.
For example, a person with a short nail bed will feel extremely hard after being bitten by a mosquito. Because when it is itchy, they have no nails to scratch.
Therefore, for the beauty and health of nails, please calmly trim your nails and realize the freedom of opening the can and the freedom of tickling as soon as possible...
