Although the literature is replete with recommendations for people with diabetes—particularly those with neuropathy, ischemia, or both—to avoid caring for corns and calluses on their own feet, there are virtually no reports of damage associated with this care. The purpose of this article is to report on the potential perils of personal pedicures in the presence of peripheral neuropathy by using a case-based example. In this article, we report on the inappropriate use of a Ped Egg personal pedicure device that led to limb-threatening lesions in a gentleman with diabetic peripheral sensory neuropathy.

What a shame "Neuropathy" does not have a silent "P" at the beginning, it would have an amazing title then.

Personally, 'Pedal Pathology Potentiated by Personal Pedicures in the Presence of Painless Peripheral Neuropathy' is a preposterous proposition, provoking a pertinent postulate of piffle.

Just taking the 'P'.

I don't wish to be 'stuffy', this is a serious subject and the report is diminished by the use of excessive alliteration. Presumably, Zubrack, Fisher et al. think that they are clever but they 'dumb down' the subject to the detriment of the patient(s).

Couldn't agree more Bill. The overuse of alliteration is massively distracting and reduces the likelyhood of the research being taken seriously. Infact I would be suprised if many get past the barrier of the title.

A case of necrotizing fasciitis from a pedicure: when beauty centers become life-threatening
Mirco Pozzi et al
Acta Biomed. 2022 Jun 7;93(S1):e2022126

Introduction: in a historical moment where there is an increasing use of beauty center, we report a case of necrotizing fasciitis occurred after a pedicure, with the aim of clarifying the safety of these aesthetic treatments.

Case report: we discuss a case of left foot necrotizing fasciitis as consequence of removing a plantar callus. The patient is a 49 years old man; he is hypertensive, and diabetic not controlled. We report our experience showing the clinical manifestation and the tricky profile of the patient; then we reflect on the safety profiles of these aesthetic treatments.

Discussion: some bacterial infections of soft tissue after pedicure and manicure are reported in Literature. Mycobacteria seems to play a prevalent role, mostly after a peculiar practice of "fish pedicure". Our experience shows how the combination between a patient with complicated profile and poor hygienic measures can have catastrophic consequences.

Conclusion: the aim of this article is to raise awareness on the serious consequences that can arise from banal aesthetic procedures. Furthermore, we want to recommend more control over these treatments performed in Beauty Salon, considering the large turnout of people, even clinically sensitive.
