Men Pedicures......More Manly than You Think!

Dr. Rosenstein,

       I'm trying to get my husband to get a pedicure, but he feels that it only benefits women. What could I tell him that would convince him to get one?


When men hear the word pedicure they usually start thinking the wrong way. Most men think that only women get pedicures and that it is strictly a female spoil. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Since men and women have feet, pedicures are in no way restricted to women. A pedicure is simply the care of the feet to avoid complications and to make them look their best. Getting a men's pedicure can be extremely beneficial.

The truth is that men usually don't get a pedicure until something goes wrong....the same can be said when they go to see a podiatrists as well. This is most likely a major reason that a lot of guys have problems with their feet, such as ingrown toenails. It is best though to prevent these problems before they happen. Many problems with the feet reoccur once you get them the first time, which is why it's so important to keep your feet problem free.

To make foot soaks more masculine in a male pedicure, try to use fragrances that are more neutral or manly.
Some non-toxic aromas favored by males include:
  • Vanilla-great for the skin and hair as well
  • Ginger- great for aching muscles, poor circulation and arthritis
  • Vetiver- great for aching muscles, arthritis and sores
  • Sandalwood- great for the skin and depression
  • Black Pepper- great for aching muscles, poor circulation and arthritis
  • Patchouli- great on athlete's foot

There are a number of benefits men can receive from getting regular pedicures. For instance, helping to stop foot odor by removing dead excess skin from the soles and the prevention of ingrown toenails, calluses and corns.

To schedule a pedicure or an appointment or if you have any questions please contact Affiliated Podiatrists, Inc. at 440-946-5858 or visit our website www.DrRobertRosenstein.com
