Having fish eat dead skin off your feet may be a trendy (and ticklish) way to exfoliate, but so-called "fish pedicures" could pose health risks. Indeed, one woman in New York developed
an odd toenail problem after having a "fish pedicure," according to a new report of the case. The woman, in her 20s, went to the doctor after noticing that her toenails
looked abnormal - a problem she'd had for about six months, the report said. She wasn't in pain, but there appeared to be breaks in her toenails, so that the bottom
part-of her nails separated from the top part. The patient didn't have any typical risk-factors for toenail problems - such as an injury to the nails, or a family history of
nail disorders - but she did report that she had a fish pedicure a few months before her nail problems started. The patient was diagnosed with onychomadesis, a condition in which
the nail separates from the "nail matrix," or the tissue under the nail that produces cells that allow the nail to grow. The condition occurs when something causes the nails to
stop growing for a while, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). As a result, people may see deep grooves that run horizontally across their nails - known as Beau
lines - or they may see larger gaps where there is no nail, the AAD said. Ultimately, the condition usually causes the nail to fall off, according to the new report,
published today (July 3) in the journal JAMA Dermatology. However, people with onychomadesis usually experience spontaneous regrowth of their nail within 12 weeks, according to a 2017 report in the journal
Cutis. A number of things may cause onychomadesis, including infections, autoimmune disorders, certain medications or hereditary conditions. But this is the first case of onychomadesis tied to a fish pedicure, the
