Toenail Fungus: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Treatment

Toenail fungus, medically known as onychomycosis, is a common and bothersome condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While it may seem like a minor issue, untreated toenail fungus can lead to discomfort, pain, and even complications. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the causes, symptoms, and effective treatments for toenail fungus, providing you with valuable insights to…

Can I get foot fungus from walking barefoot in public places?

     Indeed, strolling shoeless out in the open places, for example, shared showers, rec centers, storage spaces, and pools can build the gamble of getting foot parasite. Parasites flourish in warm and soggy conditions, and public spots where individuals walk shoeless give an optimal favorable place to them.

The most well-known kind of foot organism is Competitor's foot, which is an infectious contagious contamination that causes tingling, consuming, and redness on the skin of your feet, toes, and bottoms. You can get the organism by strolling shoeless on tainted surfaces, for example, shower floors, storage space floors, and pool decks, where the parasite can get by for quite a long time.

To forestall foot growth, it's vital to wear shoes or flip-flops openly spots where individuals walk shoeless. Furthermore, you ought to rehearse great foot cleanliness by washing your feet everyday, drying them completely, and changing your socks and shoes routinely. On the off chance that you suspect that you have foot parasite, see your primary care physician or a podiatrist for finding and treatment.

appearence; "is she glowing?" - glow up guide no.2

Hey love, how are you doin?

Today we'll cover the next part of our glow up journey - our looks. So without further ado, let's begin!

I prepared a list of things you can do in order to boost your looks, and take care of yourself at the same time, so you can glow up<3

FACE:

⟶ don't pick your pimples!!! It's the worst thing you can do when dealing with acne/spots/blackheads etc. Instead go see a dermatologist. You can also use salicylic acid, azelaic acid or pimple patches ⟶ start double cleansing to remove all makeup and dirts from your face. Use an oil cleanser first, and a water based one afterwards. ⟶ use vitamin C to brighten your skin and give it this healthy glow ⟶ diet is also very important to keep your face clean and glowy. Make sure you're not eating too much sugar and processed foods that may cause inflammation. ⟶ use makeup according to your face shape and to enhance your features. ⟶ depuff your face using ice cubes, gua sha and face massages ⟶ When you sleep on our side, your face is pressed against the pillow causing acne and wrinkles, so sleep on your back or invest in a silk/satin pillowcase to reduce friction. ⟶ make sure you're using spf 50 daily

BODY:

⟶ move your body! Find an acitivy that you enjoy and move your body daily. You can go to the gym, find a class (like pilates or spinning maybe?) or just workout at home, stretch or go on walks. I personally love dancing and stretching, and I also try to walk at least 10k steps a day. ⟶ check up at the doctors regularly to make sure you're healthy ⟶ make sure you're sleeping enough, this is very important if you want to feel and look your best. Studies recommend at least 7 hours for and adult, and minimum 8 hours for teenagers ⟶ diet, im sorry but this is key to a healthy lifestyle and body. A healty, balanced diet with lots of fruit and vegetables and whole foods is essencial. Make sure to get enough protein and healthy fats in. I am not a medical professional, so if you have any special needs, allergies or you are in treatment consult any dietetary changes with your doctor or a certified dietetician. ⟶ use a nourishing body wash and after the shower use a lotion to moisturise your skin. And use deodorant after every shower. ⟶ exfoliate using a scrub or an exfoliating glove once/twice a week to keep your skin soft ⟶ you can take a pumice stone to soften the rough skin on your feet, and make sure to clean and cut your toenails. ⟶ find a signature scent, I recommend perfumes as they last longer but scented mists are also good. Bonus points if you have a lotion in the same smell to enhance the scent. ⟶ this is optional, but if you'd like to take your body care to the next level, everything showers are amazing! I do one about every two weeks on sundays. This is the time for you to take a cozy bath, exfoliate, wash your hair, maybe do a face mask? There is no right or wrong for an everything shower, just make yourself feel good and clean the way you like it<3

HAIR:

⟶ wash your hair 2-4x a week depending on your needs. Don't wash your hair daily as it can cause damaged hair and a dry, itchy scalp. If your hair gets greasy easily, try to at least wash it every other day. ⟶ use a hair mask once a week ⟶ I find that the best hair care is according to your hair porosity. You can check it with the glass of water test.  Simply take a clean, product-free strand of loose hair and put it in a glass of water. If the hair floats at the top then it is low porosity, if it sinks slowly or settles in the middle it is medium/normal porosity, and if it sinks straight to the bottom then it is high porosity. ⟶ every night before bed apply hair oil to your ends and put your hair in a protective hairstyle such as loose braid to keep it from damage while you sleep. ⟶ use rosemary or argan oil to grow and thicken your hair ⟶ trim split/damaged ends when needed ⟶ you can use a scalp scrubber to better clean all the dirt and scalp build up ⟶ avoid excessive heat and when you do, use heat protection

CLOTHES:

⟶ rather than buying every microtrend that exist, invest in quality pieces and create a capsule wardrobe. Keep in mind to adjust it to your own personal style, or if you don't have one you can look ideas up on pinterest. ⟶ wear accesories! Necklaces, bracelets, sunglasses etc can elevate your looks by 1000x! Find out whether gold or silver fits you the best, or maybe you find diamonds or pearls a better fit? ⟶ keep your clothes clean and neat, iron them when needed to avoid looking slumpy

ESSENTIALS:

⟶ brush your teeth 2x a day ⟶ brush and detangle your hair ⟶ use a lip balm to hydrate your lips ⟶ always keep a hand cream near to use when needed ⟶ get enough sleep ⟶ move your body and eat healthy ⟶ stay hydrated, drink at least 2l of water a day

That's everything for today sparkles, I hope you enjoyed this post and I am waiting for your comments on how your glow up journey is going<3

2. 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥

Tags: bakugou x fem!reader, juxtaposition, angst, fluff, even more confusion, oh izuku's here

You’re a puzzle that he can’t solve. It perks his interest, but irks him like the screeches of nails on a chalkboard.

“How can you see me?”

Katsuki thinks someone must have hit your head on the piano keys too hard.

Maybe that was the made-up ghost Kaminari was talking about.

“Are you fucking with me?” Katsuki blurts. “You show up here, waltz in like an elephant, and ask how I can see you?”

You frown. “I’m not an elephant.”

“Sure sounded like one.”

Your eyebrows furrow, lips pressed into a hard line like you’re choosing not to argue. In an instant, you brighten like a sunflower with rays of hope shining in your eyes. “D-Do you-um…do you know me—?”

Katsuki stares at you with his best ‘Are you serious’ face, which makes you deflate like a balloon.

“Of course you don’t.”

The silence thickens between the both of you as you shove your hands into your pockets and avert your gaze. Katsuki glances at the boxes, and then back at you.

“I’m leaving.”

“No, wait!” You reach out to him but draw back almost immediately like you’d get burned. You take one look at him again, but don’t meet his eyes. “Never mind. Sorry if I creeped you out or anything. Didn’t mean to.”

You breeze past him and jump down the stage, making your way to the double doors at the back of the hall.

His forehead crinkles. “I thought you—”

“Backstage door is locked.”

“Not that!” Katsuki puffs, glaring down at you. “Didn’t you just come, why are you leaving already?”

You mirror his look of confusion. Some guts you have, for looking at him like he’s the crazy one.

“I was here before you even came, Bakugou. You know, playing the piano?”

It takes some time for your words to piece together in his mind, but when he finally understands, you’re already halfway out of the door.

“Hah—?”

You flee from the hall like a spooked deer, leaving him alone in the hall with his colourful array of questions.

Brilliant.

He replays the last 10 minutes, scans through his memories like a hawk and becomes even more confused. He gets that his hearing has been deteriorating but that couldn’t be right. All your playing and not even a peep?

With words of ash on his tongue, he opens the door and is greeted with the rustling of the wind. You’re gone. Bakugou prods at his ears.

He should probably get them checked.

—

It is not stalking. Hell, he doesn’t even know your name.

He thought that finding you was a dime in a dozen, but what he got was a needle in a haystack. He mulled over the yearbooks, which you were conveniently absent from. He tore through the school and kept an eye out for you every opportunity he got.

It was stupid, just how invested he was in his search for you, but he couldn’t quell the curiosity.

Almost felt as if you were a magnet, pulling him towards you with his heart throbbing painfully in his chest.

—

“A ghost?” Izuku gives him a strange look, as if saying ‘I thought you didn’t believe in those’.

“I don’t,” He grits out. “I just wanna know—”

“If I’ve been hearing things from the hall? Yes,” His childhood friend confirms. Katsuki isn’t even surprised anymore that Izuku can read him like a picture book. “But it’s muted. All Might says that it’s a janitor, and honestly, I don’t know what else it could be—”

“I saw a girl in there yesterday. I don’t know if she’s messing with me, but she was apparently there the entire time playing the grand—quit looking at me like I ate your toenails.” He snapped.

Izuku makes a face.

“Visual.”

“Izuku.”

“I know! I’m sorry, I just, I didn’t think you’d take this so seriously.” He giggles, eyes sparkling in amusement. “I wanna see her too. Let me tag along the next time you decide to visit.”

Katsuki backpaddles and swerves to Izuku with the tips of his ears red. “I never said I’d—!”

“Kacchan, we both know you’re gonna go.”

Heat crawls up his face as Izuku hums in response, walking ahead of him. Katsuki shakes his head, strides to meet Izuku’s pace, and cools his blush.

“Fucking mind reader.”

“It’s why I can tell you’re secretly curious about this mysterious—”

“Not. Another. Word.”

—

Katsuki has taken music lessons since he was a brat.

Music was an easy enough language to decipher, and with his perfect pitch, his mother thought that it would be the perfect outlet for his…uh…outbursts.

He’d dropped it in the end but the background knowledge about the subject was handy for the most random situations (Year 1 was a good example when he had to play the drums).

Piano was about as dull as watching paint dry, with all its tiring scales, rereading, replaying and re-fucking memorising what and how he was supposed to play a piece. Why does he have to follow the interpretation of some dead man’s score? He’d play it however he thinks it’s best.

Speaking of, who decided to let an amateur play Chopin’s Ballade No. 1? The arpeggios were messy, the paddling sloppy and most of the sounds blurred together in a murky unpleasant harmony.

“Jesus,” Katsuki rubs his ears, “it’s like she really wants me to blast my own eardrums out.”

Izuku looks at the door’s steel handles, and then back at his childhood friend. “Kacchan, what are you talking about?”

The blond stares at All Might’s successor in disbelief, mouth opening and closing. He refuses to believe he’s the only one who can hear the unprofessional playing.

“Come on.”

Katsuki throws open the double doors and storms into the hall with the Izuku in tow.

“For the love of my ears, stop!”

The music ends abruptly at his voice as Katsuki climbs the stage and pulls away the curtains hiding the piano from view.

“Have you lost your marbles—?” Izuku makes eye contact with you, and his voice dies with its fire.

“Oh.”

You almost fall off the piano seat.

“Do you want to murder me?” You fire back, scrambling off the bench like it would bite your hand off. “Kill a girl for trying to mind her own business—”

“What the fuck did you mean by the ‘I was here before you came’ bullshit?” He snarls, weaving through the curtains to try to catch a proper glance of you. “You have t-minus—”

“Kacchan, you’re scaring her!” Izuku yelped, reeling him back. Good, because murder wouldn’t look too good on his track record.

“I’m so sorry about him. We didn’t mean to disturb you.”

You visibly soften at Izuku’s apology, your expression unreadable for just a second.

“I can see that,” You reply dryly.

“Is it your quirk? Or some sick joke?” Katsuki guesses, shrugging Izuku off. “I want answers.”

You mutter something Katsuki can’t quite catch, and it makes him almost rip the red drapes that you keep hiding behind.

“Why do you care? Don’t you hero course students have internships to go to and people to save or whatever you shiny celebrities have on your hands?”

Katsuki opens his mouth to answer, before he pauses. You’re right. You’re completely right. Heat roars to the tips of his ears.

“I don’t know.”

Behind his back, the green-haired haired rolls his eyes. “You intrigue him,” He translates.“Kacchan’s bored. No offence, you’re probably the most interesting thing to happen to him in the past year. He finds you—”

“SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE.”

You look thoughtful for a second, before you laugh softly under your breath. You pull the curtains aside, and that’s when he has a really, really good look at you. Your face isn’t memorable. In fact, if it wasn’t for your little stunt in the hall yesterday, he’s sure that he would have forgotten about you.

“Interesting, huh? How ironic.”

With a bow, you greet. “L/n Y/n. Honoured to meet the feared Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight and Deku.”

Izuku blushes all the way down to his neck. “Midoriya’s just fine.”

Y/n L/n. What a plain name. No wonder he doesn’t remember you.

But you do remember his hero name and addressed him as such, so you’re leagues ahead of all the other extras he’s met.

You give both of them a half smile that doesn’t quite reach your eyes. “Are you gonna come back here? You know, so I don’t see heaven briefly every time you decide to visit.”

“What is this, your abode?”

“Hell.”

“Same thing.”

“I think what Kacchan means is yes.” Izuku jumps in.

Katsuki whips to his childhood friend with a glare that could kill. “You better sleep with one eye open, dipshit.”

The green bean smiles happily. “I’ll try my luck.”

The piano makes a small noise, and Deku visibly jumps out of his skin as the both of them whip to the instrument. You pull your hands away from the keys. “Sorry. Am I bothering you?”

“Your playing fuckin’ sucks.” Katsuki fires.

You don’t even flinch. Instead, your eyes dim as your lips upturned into a tiny, sad smile.

“I know.”

—

A day later, Katsuki makes an off-hand comment to Izuku about their trip to the school hall.

The greenette’s response was befuddled. “Kacchan, who are you talking about?”

Nail injuries in the context of hormones and gender presentation

This post is going to have frank and detailed, but not graphic, discussion of injury to fingernails and toenails. There will not be pictures.

We all have nails. However, the sex hormone dominant in your body can affect how they grow, and what you need to be wary of.

There are three main parts to the nail that we'll be considering. We'll be discussing the nail tip, which is the white section past the pink, the live nail, which is the pink section, and the nail matrix, which is the part at the base of the nail that it grows out of.

There are four main types of nail injury that we'll be discussing.

Tear injuries are ragged injuries, usually resulting from part of the nail being caught on something and pulled sideways.

Split injuries are typically straight cracks running vertically or horizontally, and result from the nail being crushed by direct pressure or struck suddenly.

Peel injuries are where the nail is mostly intact, but part or all of the live nail is separated from your finger. These tend to happen when the nail is caught on something and pulled against it.

Nail lacerations are when there is a bad enough cut that it slices through the nail and into your flesh. They are most common around mechanically driven blades, and should always be considered a serious injury. Keep in mind that mechanically driven blades include blenders and food processors.

When you grow out nails, you increase your risk for tear and peel injuries, because there is more of the nail sticking out to be caught. Nail length does not typically affect your likelihood for nail lacerations. You can mitigate these risks by: taking measures to strengthen or protect your nails, as well as generally working to avoid situations where your nails will be caught. When taking T, nails tend to thicken and stiffen. This reduces your chance for lacerations, peel injuries, and tear injuries, but increases the chance of a split injury when struck due to increased rigidity, and means that if you do get a peel injury, it may be more severe because the nail lifts in a line instead of bending. You can mitigate these risks by: shortening your nails or taking measures to improve their flexibility. When taking E, nails tend to thin and become more flexible. This reduces your chance for split injuries and tends to reduce the severity of peel injuries because your nail is more likely to bend, but increases your chance for lacerations, tear injuries, and peel injuries. There is also a risk of developing brittle nails, which are also at higher risk for split injuries, and are additionally at higher risk for multiple fractures when split. You can mitigate these risks by: shortening your nails or taking measures to improve their strength, as well as wearing proper hand protection and practicing safety around mechanically driven blades.

Injuries to the nail tip and to the surface of the nail can be considered cosmetic injuries, and will repair with the growth of the nail. At most, you need a pair of nail clippers. These tend to be tear or scratch injuries, with rare horizontal split injuries happening too. As far as I am aware, it is not possible to have permanent nail damage from these.

Injuries to the live nail can range from minor to serious. Split injuries are painful, but can usually be managed at home so long as they are not paired with a peel injury to part of the split. Minor tear or peel injuries that do not result in bleeding can also be managed at home.

For any nail injury that results in bleeding, if you can afford it, I would recommend visiting Urgent Care so that they can check the nail and make sure that nothing got under the nail and that it will heal in a way that causes minimal pain and no infection.

BE AWARE THAT BLEEDING CAN BE CONFINED UNDER THE NAIL. It will appear as a black or dark purple patch under the nail, and may need to be drained so that it does not rot under the nail. In some cases, they may need to remove the nail so that they can properly treat the injury under it. There is rarely long term damage to the nail when treated well.

Injuries to the nail matrix are usually severe peel or tear injuries that remove most or all of the nail. If you can, go to the doctor. These injuries rarely heal well without help, and are a risk for infection, because raw flesh is exposed. They also tend to be extremely painful.

If you get an injury that removes most or all of your nail and you are not in pain, you are medically in shock (as opposed to emotionally in shock, though that probably also applies) and will need to be treated for shock. Thankfully, severe nail injuries are also the rarest ones. There is occasionally long term damage to the nail when treated well.

Nail lacerations are in a category of their own. Whether they hit your nail matrix or not, these injuries should be considered serious and treated by a doctor if possible. They commonly require removal of the nail to treat the injury. Long term damage typically depends on if there was damage to the nail matrix. Always treat mechanically driven blades with respect. Again, keep in mind that blenders and food processors have mechanically driven blades.

Keep in mind that all of the above information applies to toenails as well as fingernails. Fingernails are more commonly thought of, and do more commonly experience injuries due to being less often protected. But if you're having an unusual amount of pain after an impact to your foot or after it is caught on something, check your toenails for injury.

You can generally avoid nail injury by being careful in situations where your nails may get caught, not yanking them around when they do get caught, and wearing protective gear when in situations where there is a significant risk of sharp or crushing impact to your nails, and when you are putting them near mechanically driven blades that are connected to power, whether via battery or cord.

Keep nail injuries in mind, and take measures to avoid them. They may not be as dangerous as other injuries, but they are often extremely painful and can impair you while they heal.

okay i'm too lazy to draw rn but

deer hrt timeline!

under the cut bc it ended up a lot longer then i thought (i spent like 3 hours on this whoops)

disclaimer: this is an approximate timeline, results may vary based on individual and desired species. (also this is fictional, deer hrt doesn't exist unfortunately. scroll to the bottom of the post for more info)

0-1 month: body hair starts to thicken slightly. increased appetite for salads and vegetables.

1-3 months: fingernails and toenails begin to thicken significantly and grow in area. body hair begins to grow in thicker, but slowly for now, starting in places where body hair already grows (arms, legs, chest, facial hair). ears start to become noticably elongated. seasonal hormone fluctuation starts (high libido in spring, low libido in fall and winter).

3-6 months: lots of changes happening! disinterest in eating meat, and over half of diet is now leafy greens. too much of anything else will upset your stomach, as your digestive enzymes and intestinal structure have started changing. fingernails and toenails continue thickening rapidly and getting larger in area. more easily startled and prone to anxiety. vision and hearing sharpen somewhat. nose darkens and becomes somewhat damp.

6-12 months: diet has become almost exclusively leafy greens. at this stage, most transitioning deer will grow a significant amount of their own food, because it's not cheap to buy several pounds of salad a day. beans and other protein-rich plant products, as well as vitamin supplements, are recommended as well at this stage, since grass and spinach alone doesn't give your body the protein it needs for the changes it's going through. fur continues thickening and spreading, including across the face and ears, and has mostly changed color to match your species. ears are significantly elongated now. fingernails and toenails, now over a centimeter thick and significantly larger, merge to form the early stages of a hoof. wearing shoes is now very difficult if not impossible. behavioral changes may include being easily startled and skittish, tendency to stick with a "herd" of close friends, anxiety when separated from the "herd," aversion to change or new things, and fear of natural predators like wolves. hormonal cycles are now aligned with those of wild deer of your chosen species. individuals with male testosterone levels will grow small antlers (not yet full-sized) in early spring, which includes awful headaches in the first stages. like in a wild deer, these antlers will come out covered in "velvet" (furry skin) and the individual will go into rut, which includes strong libido, increased aggression, and urges to rub your horns on hard surfaces.

12-18 months: body is nearly fully covered in fur, although it may still be thin in some places. nose has fully changed shape, color, and texture. early changes in bone structure appear, including gradual emergence of a snount, emergence of the tailbone, shifting of eyes towards the sides of the head, the thumbs becoming angled away from the hand, big toes moving to the side of the foot, and elongation of the wrists and ankles. by this stage, it has become very difficult to live alone because of the need for a herd. fight-or-flight response is much more easily triggered as the individual gains the instincts of a prey animal, and panic attacks in crowded spaces become very common. anxiety medication may be very helpful if they wish to remain integrated with human society. tone of speech may change somewhat as the voice box becomes more simplified. hooves become much more hoof-like in shape, and fingers and toes become completely enveloped by the keratin. mobility aids may be useful while adjusting to hooves, as well as dealing with the pain caused by skeletal changes in the toes and ankles. living with hooves for hands is also a struggle at first, but the small community of deer transitioners shares lots of tips and tools for making the adjustment. by 18 months, the individual has acquired most of the surface-level features of a deer, while maintaining most of their human body structure and brain. many individuals will stop their hrt regimen at 18 months, before the major skeletal and behavioral changes set in.

18+ months: if the individual chooses to continue beyond 18 months, the next 2-4 years of hrt will slowly but drastically change their bone structure, organ structure, and behavior. mobility aids and heavy duty pain meds are necessary for dealing with the huge skeletal changes, which include change in pelvis shape and orientation, significant lengthening of the wrists and ankles, disappearance of two fingers/toes in each hoof, thickening of the remaining two fingers/toes, realignment and shrinking of the thumbs and big toes, significant enlarging of the cervical/neck vertebrae, appearance of two entirely new vertebrae, growth of all existing vertebrae, lengthening of the tailbone, expansion of the ribcage, movement and realignment of the shoulder, and significant growth of the snount. by 30 months (2.5 years), most individuals walk on 4 legs, although it is likely still awkward and painful. by 36 months (3 years), four-legged locomotion has become more comfortable, as most major skeletal changes have taken place. muscles will gain or lose significant amounts of mass to adapt to a four legged lifestyle. internal organs may change shape and position somewhat to adjust to to new body orientation. their functions will also shift to match those of a wild deer. mental changes will be significant as the brain shrinks to accommodate changes in skull shape. the rate and extent of loss of intelligence varies, but on average, at 36 months the individual will perform at the level of a human four year old in tasks assessing problem solving and pattern recognition skills. effects on intelligence beyond 36 months have not yet been researched, but it seems likely that brain structure would be nearly identical to a deer of their species within a few more years of treatment. the individual usually fully gains the instincts of a prey animal between 12 and 24 months, but human intelligence masks this somewhat. as intelligence and memory declines, the individual will start to behave more like a wild deer, first in episodes but eventually full-time. this usually firsts manifests as not recognizing (non-deer) friends and family members, seeing them as threats and bolting away. may also wander off in search of a herd of their own species. typically, human society will lose contact with an individual between 3 and 4 years.

this is based on the fictional animal hrt, aka therian hrt or furry hrt, worlds created by many talented artists. you can find most of them under the "#animal hrt" tag. obviously this is not meant to perfectly align with the process of actual hrt. i had to shorten the timeline a bit to line up with the timeline established for animal hrt, which is that you remain mostly anthropomorphic up to about 1.5 years, after which you start to become more "feral." also i had to research deer anatomy for this which was interesting. did you know that the whole lower section of a deer's leg is the skeletal equivalent of a human wrist?? i didn't

As Emma exited the shower, she reached for her workout bag, only to realize with horror that it was missing. Panic surged through her, but then she spotted an identical bag in the corner. Relieved, she grabbed it and began to get dressed, unaware that these clothes would change her life forever.

First, she pulled on a pair of white athletic socks. As soon as they were on, a strange tingling sensation spread through her feet. She watched in shock as her feet began to stretch and grow, toes thickening and lengthening. The arches of her feet lifted higher, and veins became more prominent. Her toenails darkened slightly, and a soft layer of dark hair sprouted over the tops of her feet. The transformation continued up her legs, with her calves bulging, becoming more defined and muscular. Her shins and thighs followed suit, swelling with new muscle and becoming coated in a dense layer of dark hair, transforming her legs into those of a strong, athletic man.

Next, she pulled on a pair of blue running shorts. As the waistband settled on her hips, she felt an intense pressure as her hips began to narrow, the feminine curves straightening out into a more angular, masculine shape. Her pelvis shifted, and she felt a strange pulling sensation in her groin. New, masculine equipment formed, filling out the shorts in a way that felt strangely natural and right. Emma looked down in amazement, feeling a mixture of fear and curiosity as she ran her hands over her now flat and muscular hips. Despite the strangeness, this body began to feel familiar, as if it had always been hers.

She then reached for a black tank top, pulling it over her head and down over her torso. The fabric clung to her skin as her body began to shift once more. Her waist tightened, and her abs grew defined and rippled. She watched in amazement as her breasts flattened and her pectoral muscles expanded. Her shoulders broadened, and dark hair spread across her chest and stomach, creating a thick, masculine coat. She flexed her new muscles, feeling a surge of power and confidence. This body felt familiar, comfortable.

Finally, she picked up a sweatband and wrapped it around her forehead. As she did, her face began to tingle and reshape. Her cheekbones became more pronounced, her jawline squared off, and a thick, dark beard sprouted across her cheeks and chin. Her hair grew thicker and shorter, and her eyes took on a more intense, confident look. She smiled at her reflection, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction and normalcy.

Looking in the mirror, Jack—a handsome, bearded young man with an athletic build—felt completely at ease. This was who he had always been, a confident gay man who loved working out and helping others achieve their fitness goals.

Jack grabbed his bag and headed out to the gym floor, ready to find new clients and maybe even some love. He smiled at the patrons as he walked by, feeling more confident and alive than ever before. The scent of sweat and the sound of weights clanking felt like home. He greeted a few familiar faces, offering tips and encouragement as he moved through the gym.

As Jack began his first training session of the day, he noticed a familiar face entering the gym. It was Sarah, one of Emma's close friends. Sarah looked around, clearly searching for someone.

"Hey there, can I help you with something?" Jack asked, his deep voice resonating through the gym.

Sarah turned to look at Jack, momentarily puzzled. "I was looking for my friend, Emma. We were supposed to meet here."

Jack's heart raced slightly, but he maintained his composure. "I haven't seen her, but I'd be happy to help you with your workout if you'd like."

Sarah hesitated, then smiled. "Sure, why not? I've been meaning to get a proper training session in."

Jack led Sarah to the free weights area and handed her a pair of light dumbbells. "Let's start with some basic curls."

As Sarah began to lift the weights, a tingling sensation spread through her arms. Her biceps began to swell, the muscles growing more defined with each curl. Her once slender arms thickened, becoming strong and masculine. Dark hair sprouted along her forearms, and her hands grew larger, veins becoming more prominent. The change felt oddly natural to Sarah, her memories beginning to shift subtly.

Next, Jack guided her to the bench press. As she lay down and gripped the bar, her chest began to change. Her breasts flattened and her pectoral muscles expanded, becoming firm and well-defined. Her shoulders broadened, and dark hair spread across her chest and down her stomach. With each press, her torso became more muscular and hairy, the transformation reinforcing her new reality. Sarah's memories of having a more athletic build started to feel like they had always been true.

Jack then moved her to the leg press machine. As Sarah pushed against the weight, her legs began to change. Her thighs and calves bulged with new muscle, her hips narrowing and straightening. Her feminine curves disappeared, replaced by a powerful, athletic frame. Dark hair covered her legs, completing the transformation. Each press made her feel stronger, more confident, and her memories adjusted to reflect a lifetime of athleticism.

"You're doing great," Jack said, admiring the changes in his new client. "Let's finish with some cardio."

Sarah moved to the treadmill, and as she started to run, her face began to change. Her cheekbones became more pronounced, her jawline squared off, and a thick, red beard sprouted across her cheeks and chin. Her hair turned a vibrant shade of red, growing shorter and thicker. Her eyes took on a more intense, confident look. With each step, her transformation completed, her memories solidifying into a new reality where she had always been a confident, burly gay man named Patrick.

Patrick slowed the treadmill to a walk and looked over at Jack, a playful smile on his face. "You know, I don't think I ever properly thanked you for this one-on-one session."

Jack grinned, feeling an instant connection. "No need to thank me, but how about we grab a drink after this? I think we'd have a lot to talk about."

Patrick's eyes lit up. "I'd like that, Jack. A lot."

As the two finished their workout, the gym around them felt more like a second home, a place where they could both thrive. Their transformations had seamlessly integrated into their lives, with no remnants of their former selves remaining. Jack and Patrick, two confident and athletic gay men, left the gym together, ready to explore whatever the future held for them.

Jack and Patrick walked side by side, the evening air cool and refreshing against their skin. Jack, with his neatly styled thick black beard and equally thick black hair, wore a fitted t-shirt that highlighted his toned, hairy torso. His jeans clung perfectly to his muscular legs. Patrick also sported a fitted t-shirt and jeans, showing off his strong, hairy frame.

They walked close together, their hands occasionally brushing against each other as they strolled down the quiet street. The streetlights cast a warm glow, creating a romantic ambiance around them. Jack turned to Patrick, his dark eyes twinkling with affection, while Patrick's intense green eyes looked back with a mixture of playfulness and tenderness.

Their conversation flowed easily, laughter punctuating the air as they shared stories and dreams. As they reached Patrick's doorstep, Jack paused, his hand lingering on Patrick's arm. The night was still, filled only with the distant hum of the city and the soft rustle of leaves in the breeze.

"I had a great time tonight," Jack said, his voice warm and sincere.

Patrick smiled, his eyes lighting up. "So did I. We should do this again soon."

Jack nodded, his heart racing with anticipation. "I'd like that a lot."

Patrick hesitated for a moment, then took a step closer, his voice lowering to a more intimate tone. "You know, it's still early. Would you like to come in for a bit?"

Jack's eyes widened slightly in pleasant surprise, a smile spreading across his face. "I'd love to."

Patrick unlocked the door and led Jack inside, the warmth of the house welcoming them. The living room was cozy, with soft lighting and comfortable furniture. Patrick gestured to the couch, and they both sat down, the space between them almost nonexistent.

They continued their conversation, the atmosphere growing more intimate. Patrick poured them both a glass of wine, their fingers brushing as he handed Jack his glass. As they sipped their wine, the conversation turned more personal, each sharing more about their lives and hopes for the future.

Eventually, the conversation slowed, and they found themselves sitting in comfortable silence. Patrick reached out, gently placing his hand on Jack's. Jack looked up, meeting Patrick's gaze, his heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Patrick leaned in, his voice a soft murmur. "I'm really glad we met, Jack."

Jack smiled, his eyes warm with affection. "Me too, Patrick."

Their faces were inches apart, the air between them electric with anticipation. Patrick closed the distance, his lips meeting Jack's in a tender, lingering kiss. It was a kiss filled with promise and the beginning of something beautiful.

They spent the evening wrapped in each other's arms, sharing intimate moments and getting to know each other on a deeper level. As the night went on, they felt a connection that went beyond physical attraction, a bond that hinted at the start of a meaningful relationship.

By the time the evening drew to a close, both Jack and Patrick knew that this was the beginning of something special. As they lay together, wrapped in the warmth of their newfound intimacy, they looked forward to a future filled with love and shared dreams.

God I want to tf my roommate so badly. I've been watching them come home so exhausted the past few months. When they first got here they were so excited and told me about all the things they were going to get up to now that they moved out from their ex's. Lately though all they've been talking about is the overtime they have to put in for a project at work. I've got it figured out though. If I can just transform them into a dog, I could give them a perfect little de-stresser weekend. I've been slowly filling their body up with magic. Ever since I've noticed their exhaustion, I've let the ambient magic in the apartment slowly seep into their body. It's been going on for a couple of months so far, they've got to be completely malleable by now.

I can wait. I think. I can't imagine it'll be long now. One night where they haven't gotten a chance for themselves. One night where I can trick them into laying down on the couch while I get them something. Need a glass of water for a new med you're taking? No problem Hon', lay down here. They wouldn't be able to resist falling asleep during that brief little moment. Poor little roomie. They'd just be too easy to distract and mesmerize while they're like this. Really it's their own fault for getting like this. They'd be too exhausted to focus on anything more then their meds and water.

They wouldn't even notice my hand on their shoulder, kneading their skin and coaxing fur to form up the side of their neck. I'd take the empty glass back and place it down on the table. Between all the charms the couch was enchanted with and the ongoing toll of work, they wouldn't be able to resist laying back down. I'd guide them down and take their hand in mine, massaging at the back of their hand until I feel the soft fuzz of their coat coming in. Move my attention to their fingertips so that I could feel their fingernails thicken and grow into toenails as the skin of their fingers changed their texture towards toepads and fur. Feeling at their palm, massaging it gently into a paw pad as the final step before their entire hand was finished changing into their new paw. From their paw, up their wrist, past the elbow, and up to their chest and around to their shoulder, completing the transformation of a foreleg. My original hand on their neck following the pattern in reverse, transforming the rest of their torso and remaining arm.

Placing my hands on their calves, even their pants wouldn't be able to protect their legs from my ministrations. Their legs would quickly change, shrinking into their new slender form. I'd laugh watching their pantlegs poof out as their coat came in. I wouldn't even need to move my hands for the shift to follow down to their ankles, transforming their feet into hind paws. I'd be practically chasing the transformation up to the hips and stomach. I'm pretty sure all I would need to do is make space for their tail to come in.

Their head though. I'd want to take special care for them once their mind transfers over. I'd gently cup their cheek in my palm, feeling their coat start to form under my hand. Petting them from their head to neck, taking breaks to give attention to their ear. Feeling the cartilage soften while the skin stretches out as their entire ear repositions on their head. Stroking their cheek with my thumb as I reform their jaw into a snout. I'd let go of their head and hug them gently while the spell finishes, waiting for the initial thrash before they pick up my scent. The one-two-three sniff, before a heavy sigh, and then going limp into me. The sign I know I have my dog again. I'd give them a hug before pulling away at any clothes they were still tangled in. As excited as I know they are to see me, I know they're just as tired. We can fall asleep together on the couch; we don't have to go anywhere. And when we're ready, we can go for a walk around the neighborhood. Why not a park, too. We'll have all the time in the world.

Longing

Harry sat gingerly on the sun warmed lounger, knocking his bag onto the sand with a thunk and trying not to draw attention to himself. When his heart stops hammering through his chest, he realises no one is even looking in his direction. He quickly retrieves his belongings, plus quite a bit of extra sand and sidles along the beach to the next set of shaded sun loungers, right behind the couple he was watching, and tries his best to look like any other normal human on holiday.

While he fusses with his towel, pulling it back and forth on the hard nylon surface, he takes the opportunity to glance at the couple, to drink in the image of them against the blue sea.

She is hunched over at the end of her lounger, headphones on, concentrating on painting her toenails with a crimson polish, little brush in hand, it's hue bright against the deep turquoise of the hotel towel beneath her foot. Her movements are neat and quick, as if she has done it a million times before, but this is the first time Harry has seen polish on her nails.

She is lost in the action, contorting herself into the shape of a c, squishing her leg up into the belly that jiggles as she laughs. Harry knows it jiggles and knows the sound of her loud cheerful belly laugh because he's been observing them all week, creeping closer and closer with each day, unwillingly drawn into their orbit as if they are a black hole he cannot break free from.

He knows this couple now, knows they enjoy good food and red wine, that they play cards in the bar over after dinner drinks, knows they are kind and considerate with everyone they meet. He knows her smile thins like Aunt Petunia's when she encounters someone less polite than they are and he knows, from keen observation, the frown the man will wear when he's annoyed, and how quick it will melt away when he faces his wife again. Most importantly, he knows they have a grown son at home, close to his own age, that they speak to every day without fail.

She sits up with a contented sigh, uncurling to lie back against the towel, fingers nimbly twisting the top back on the little bottle. Harry stops fussing with his towel and arranges himself on it, opening his paperback at a random page, his cover for letting his eyes drift over them again.

He notices again, the greying curls at the man's temple, highlighting the rich black of the rest of his hair, his thickening waist and the quiet strength he projects. Harry watches the man's hand rest on her leg, his thumb idly stroking her pale skin. The depth of colour in his skin shines a bluey-black, just like Harry's.

She removes her headphones to smile at her husband, the sun catching the red in her hair and making it blaze.

Harry has to close his eyes against the sudden swell of longing that threatens to wash him away, his hands clenching the paperback so hard the covers squeak in protest.

"Harry, you should have waited, I swear I was almost ready to go." Draco pouts, sitting on the spare lounger. Harry keeps his eyes closed, but a tear escapes the corner.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he asks softly, laying his own pale hand on Harry's arm. His eyes flick around, hard face ready to kill until they land on the couple in front, his face going soft with exasperation and then sympathy.

"It's time to go, Harry." is all he says.

The woman's phone rings.

Harry looks up at Draco, his eyes swimming, "Just a little longer," he whispers, "please? It's him calling."

Draco nods, clearly unhappy, the hardness creeping back into his expression, "Last time." he warns.

Harry turns away, a terrible sadness and hope on his face as the woman answers the phone.

"Hello," she says, "Harry love, is that you? How are you? How is your day going?"

The Health of Feet and How to Take Care of Them

Our feet are a vital part of our body, but they are often neglected when it comes to health and care. They are the foundation of our body and support our weight, enabling us to stand, walk, run, and perform various physical activities. However, our feet are also prone to various health issues, such as blisters, calluses, corns, fungal infections, and other foot conditions. In this article, we will discuss the health of the feet and ways to take care of them, including preventive measures, treatment options, exercises, and lifestyle changes.

Why is it important to take care of your feet?

The feet are one of the most overlooked parts of the body, and people often neglect them until they develop a problem. However, the health of our feet is crucial for overall health and well-being. Proper foot care can help prevent foot problems, which can lead to pain, discomfort, and decreased mobility. Taking care of your feet can also help prevent serious medical conditions, such as diabetes and circulatory problems, which can have serious consequences.

What are some common foot problems and how can they be prevented?

Several foot problems can arise due to neglect or improper care. Some common foot problems include:

Blisters: Blisters can develop due to friction or rubbing against the skin. They can be prevented by wearing proper fitting shoes and socks and using foot powders or lubricants.

Corns and Calluses: Corns and calluses are thickened areas of skin that develop due to repeated pressure or friction. They can be prevented by wearing shoes that fit properly and using foot creams or pumice stones to remove dead skin.

Fungal Infections: Fungal infections such as athlete's foot are common in people who sweat excessively or wear tight-fitting shoes. They can be prevented by keeping the feet clean and dry, wearing clean socks, and using antifungal creams or powders.

Ingrown Toenails: Ingrown toenails occur when the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain and infection. They can be prevented by cutting toenails straight across and not too short.

Plantar Fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis is a condition that causes heel pain due to inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament. It can be prevented by stretching the feet and wearing proper shoes with good arch support.

What are some effective ways to maintain healthy and strong feet?

There are several ways to maintain healthy and strong feet, including:

Proper Footwear: Wearing proper footwear is essential for maintaining foot health. Shoes should fit well and provide adequate support and cushioning for the feet. Avoid wearing high heels or shoes with narrow toe boxes for extended periods.

Good Hygiene: Keeping the feet clean and dry is essential for preventing foot problems such as fungal infections. Wash your feet regularly, dry them thoroughly, and change your socks and shoes frequently.

Regular Exercise: Regular exercise can help maintain foot health by improving circulation and strengthening the muscles and bones in the feet. Walking, running, and yoga are all good options for foot health.

Foot Stretches: Stretching the feet regularly can help improve flexibility and prevent injuries. Try exercises such as toe curls, ankle circles, and calf stretches.

Foot Massage: Massaging the feet can help improve circulation, reduce tension, and relieve pain. Use a tennis ball or foam roller to massage the soles of your feet.

It’s 3am and I am having a crisis about calluses.

Which feels incredibly silly but I’m so EMOTIONAL about it so I’m going to make all of you suffer with me.

The amount of shit my feet have been through have made them tough and craggy and belligerent. I am proud of my callused feet. Each one is hard earned over a lifetime of doing.

But then every once and a while I think of getting one of those expensive foot treatments to remove your calluses and dead skin and make your feet all soft and luxe and maybe it has something to do with the underlying appeal of the idyllic lifestyle of the wealthy, wherein I could be a woman who wouldn’t have to worry about the protection of calluses and could revel in the softness of my feet and not worry about the hard labor that thickened my skin and the oozing blisters and aching muscles that built them.

And then I come crashing back to reality and I realize that I could never give up the protection of my gross roughened feet because just the idea of the pain that I would have to bear to build them up after such a frivolous treatment just reminds me that I will never be in a position to not worry about my calluses protecting me. I will be walking and standing and squeezing and stubbing and rubbing these feet till I die.

And although I would like to believe I am above the idea of being a kept woman with no responsibilities, carefree enough to have soft feet and lounge by the pool with painted toenails; I am not. As much as I want to punch myself for it there’s a part of me deep down that likes the idea and longs for it no matter how much my independent punk rock Marxist feminist brain wants to insist I’d never.

You know what I mean?

What Are the Common Types of Fungal Infections That Affect Nails?

Introduction to Fungal Nail Infections

Millions of people worldwide suffer from fungus infections, which frequently affect the fingernails and toenails. Fungal infections, formally known as "onychomycosis," are common in a variety of climates and lifestyles and can cause discomfort and interfere with daily tasks by deteriorating the integrity and appearance of the nails. Since fungi like warm, humid conditions, nails, especially toenails, are a prime target. Although they are generally not fatal, nail fungal infections can be painful and difficult to cure without a comprehensive, well-informed treatment.

Types of Fungal Infections Affecting Nails

Onychomycosis: The Most Prevalent Fungal Nail Infection

The term "onychomycosis" refers to a broad category of nail fungal infections. Dermatophytes, which are fungi that only feed on keratin, a crucial protein in nails, are frequently the cause of this illness. Since shoes provide a warmer, darker environment that encourages fungal growth, onychomycosis affects toenails more often than fingernails. Nails become thicker, become yellow or brown, and eventually break or crumble as a result of the infection. 

Yeast Infections (Candida Onychomycosis): How Yeast Can Target Nails

An infection called Candida onychomycosis is brought on by Candida species, which usually live on the skin. Candida attacks the skin and nails, usually affecting fingernails instead of toenails, in contrast to dermatophyte-based illnesses. Nail discomfort, greenish or yellowish discoloration, and swelling are symptoms of the infection. Candida onychomycosis is more common in those who frequently have wet hands, such as those in the cleaning or medical industries.

Distal Subungual Onychomycosis: Characteristics and Causes

Among the most prevalent types of fungal nail infections is distal subungual onychomycosis. Usually starting at the nail tip and progressing toward the cuticle, this infection is characterized by its invasion of the nail bed beneath the nail plate. Over time, discomfort and a distorted nail form may result from the infected region being white or yellowish and the nail lifting away from the skin. Dermatophytes frequently cause it. 

White Superficial Onychomycosis: Unique Appearance and Typical Causes

The surface of the nail exhibits a characteristic white, powdery appearance when white superficial onychomycosis is present. The fungus softens and breaks down the nail by remaining on the topmost layer rather than digging into the nail bed. Fungi like Trichophyton mentagrophytes are the main cause of this infection, which is usually readily scraped away in its early stages but can grow stubborn if left untreated. 

Proximal Subungual Onychomycosis: Rarity and Associations with Immunity

An uncommon type of fungal nail infection that mostly affects those with weakened immune systems is proximal subungual onychomycosis. The area surrounding the nail base becomes opaque or white as a result of this illness, which begins close to the cuticle and spreads outward. Proximal subungual onychomycosis, which is frequently linked to dermatophytes, can indicate an underlying immunological deficit, so it is imperative to seek treatment as soon as possible.

Take Care of Your Nails: Get it now

Symptoms and Visual Indicators of Nail Fungal Infections

Symptoms of fungal nail infections are frequently apparent. Discoloration, which typically turns the nail a shade of yellow, brown, or even green, is one common indication. Another noticeable sign is thickening, which can make the nail crumbly or brittle and lead it to lose its natural form. White streaks or patches may emerge on the surface, giving it a mottled look. Another warning sign is nail lifting, which occurs when the nail separates from the nail bed. It's critical to distinguish these symptoms from diseases like psoriasis or nail trauma because the therapies for these ailments vary greatly.

Causes and Risk Factors for Fungal Nail Infections

Numerous environmental and individual variables might contribute to fungal nail infections. Public showers, gyms, and swimming pools are high-risk locations because of the wetness, which encourages the growth of fungal spores. Synthetic socks or occlusive shoes might provide the perfect environment for fungi to grow. Because they hinder the body's natural defenses against fungi, health disorders including diabetes, peripheral artery disease, or a compromised immune system also make people more vulnerable. People may also be more susceptible to recurring infections if they have a family history of fungal infections or persistent nail damage. 

Treatment Options and Prevention Methods

Topical Treatments: Effective Options and How They Work

Mild occurrences of nail fungus are often treated with topical antifungal products such medicated nail lacquers, gels, or creams. By applying them directly to the nail surface, the drug can enter and target the fungus cells. Even while topical therapies are usually safe, benefits might take many months to manifest, and continuous application is essential. 

Oral Medications: Common Prescriptions and Effectiveness

Oral antifungals like terbinafine or itraconazole, which fight the fungus from within by acting systemically, may be prescribed by doctors for more serious infections. Despite their great effectiveness, these drugs have the potential to cause side effects, like liver damage, so a healthcare professional's supervision is crucial during the course of treatment. When opposed to topicals, oral medicines frequently have faster results. 

Natural Remedies and Home Care: Alternatives for Mild Infections

Natural treatments including vinegar soaks, tea tree oil, and garlic extracts have become more and more popular in recent years. When used as supplemental treatments, these natural medicines may reduce mild infections and stop the spread of fungi, despite the lack of scientific data supporting their efficacy. 

Preventive Measures: Hygiene Practices and Lifestyle Choices

It is essential for those who are at risk to prevent fungal nail infections. Wearing breathable shoes, avoiding barefooted strolling in public areas, and maintaining clean, clipped nails are all crucial preventive steps. Limiting fungal growth can also be achieved by using fabrics that wick away moisture and changing socks often. Applying an antifungal powder to the inside of shoes and on the feet can be an extra precaution for people who are prone to infections. 

Conclusion

A person's quality of life can be greatly impacted by fungal nail infections, despite the fact that they are frequently undervalued. Effective prevention and prompt treatment are made possible by an understanding of the types, signs, and causes of these illnesses. One can lower the incidence of fungal infections and preserve healthy nails by being watchful and maintaining proper nail cleanliness. It is recommended to speak with a healthcare provider for an appropriate diagnosis and treatment choices for severe or persistent infections.

What does a chiropodist do?

A chiropodist (also known as a podiatrist in some regions) is a healthcare professional who specializes in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of foot and lower limb disorders. They are trained to address a wide range of foot-related issues, including:

Foot Pain: Chiropodists treat conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and heel pain.

Nail Disorders: This includes treating ingrown toenails, fungal infections, and thickened nails.

Skin Conditions: They manage corns, calluses, warts, and foot ulcers, especially in diabetic patients.

Biomechanical Issues: Chiropodists can assess gait (how you walk) and provide orthotic insoles to correct foot alignment and relieve pain in the feet, knees, or lower back.

Sports Injuries: They treat and prevent foot injuries caused by sports and physical activities.

Diabetic Foot Care: People with diabetes often suffer from poor circulation and sensation in their feet, so chiropodists play a key role in preventing serious complications like infections or ulcers.

Chiropodists can perform minor surgical procedures, prescribe medications, and provide custom footwear or orthotics. They work in a variety of settings, including private clinics, hospitals, and community health centers.
