The KeryFlex toenail restoration system developed by Pod-ADvance, Inc. It is a composite patented resin gel, which is insoluble to water. It seals the prepared nail bed, making it more resistent to recurrent infections. It is available in three colors: pastel, clear and natural, and works by creating a flexible, nonporous artificial nail, allowing remaining natural nail to re-grow! KeryFlex toenail restoration provides an immediate cosmetic solution to those suffering with toenail infections or malformations. It looks and feels completely natural, while delivering a variety of hues to match your natural nail bed. It is unaffected by acetone, nail polish, and detergents. The Keryflex System doesn't irritate the skin, as it only sticks to the callous cells of the nail or the papillary roots. It will not bond to skin, allowing a natural edge to be fabricated.
A bunion (also referred to as hallux valgus or hallux abducto valgus) is often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. But a bunion is more than that. The visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot.
Ingrown nails, the most common nail impairment, are nails whose corners or sides dig painfully into the soft tissue of nail grooves, often leading to irritation, redness, and swelling. The big toe is the most common location for this condition, but other toes can also become affected.
Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or, rarely, a cyst.
