PROBLEMS OF THE NAILS & HAIR

Name Description Treatment
Dandruff: Dandruff is the flaking of dead skin from your scalp. It doesn't hurt at all. Dandruff is caused by a dry scalp. Dandruff looks like white flakes, and you can usually see it when it falls from your hair onto your shoulders. Many times, you can simply wash it out with a good shampoo. However, sometimes a special shampoo is needed. You should talk to your doctor if it becomes serious.
Head lice: Lice are very tiny insects that live in your hair. It is commonly passed from person to person when they share things like hats or combs. You should talk to a doctor if you have lice. He or she will give you a prescribed shampoo to stop lice.
Hang Nails: Hang nails are splits in the cuticle along the edge of the nail. They can be very painful. Cut away the splintered edge of the cuticle with a nail clipper.
Ingrown Toenail: An ingrown toenail is a toenail that pushes against the skin along the sides of the toe. Sometimes, the nail grows into the skin, or sometimes the skin can grow over the edge of the nail. In either event, the area becomes swollen and painful. When you cut your toenails, be sure to cut them straight across (but not too short). If it becomes red, this is a sign that you should see a doctor.
