Bruised, Injured Nail is Falling Off

I have seen it more than once, a finger that was slammed in a door, drawer or cabinet that really injured a fingernail. The damaged nail is dark, bruised and it feels loose. Is it going to fall off? It could! A badly damaged nail will most likely fall off but probably not for a while because it is usually still partially attached. An injury to a nail such as the nail being caught in a drawer or being slammed in a car door, that causes bruising to the nail bed, and can break the nail plate.  The nail is broken but is still attached to the nail bed. There will be new nail growing in pushing the loose injured nail out. The damaged, broken nail will become looser and looser as more new nail grow in. Help My Nail if Falling Off!   There are some things you can do to help keep the nail on for as long as possibly while the new nail is growing in. That loose nail is still protecting the sensitive nail bed. Help a Nail that is Falling Off Trim the Nail Try to keep the loosened nail on

Dermatofibroma on Leg

A Dermatofibroma is an unsightly brown or red bump that is very common on the legs. They are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas and are more common in women than men. They can hurt, itch and become inflamed easily. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  I have tried lots of home remedies on my dermatofibroma. Some help it look better than others but the ugly thing is still there! Read more about dermatofibroma remedies. There is only one way to remove it for good...surgery. It must be surgically excised out. A dermatofibroma goes deep into the skin. It will only grow back if it is cut off of the skin at surface level. The problem with the removal is it leaves a long scar that is about 2 inches or so long. It has to be done that way to be able to sew the skin back together so it is smooth and not puckery. Here is a picture of a scar from the removal of a dermatofibroma. This scar was also treated with a laser to imp

Makeup Organizers: Where to buy Professional Makeup Cases

Who doesn't love a cute makeup bag or great makeup storage case?  I see a cute bag for makeup and I just have to have it even though I already have tons of them. Businesses know we love them too. A cute bag is great incentive to get us to spend a little more at Victoria's Secret or at the Clinique counter! My favorite makeup organizer is my old Caboodles case. It's peach and it's plastic. I have a couple of them. My niece made fun of me when I brought them with me to do her makeup for her wedding. My old 80's Caboodles cases still work just fine, thank you very much. I do have to agree that I could use some updating. A nice new professional train case would be lovely. I have seen some at Ulta and Target but they were small and, I thought, expensive for what they were. I'm after something bigger. I decided to see what Amazon has to offer. The selection is amazing and it's hard to beat their prices.  Click here to shop for great makeup cases!
