Which body parts you do not feel pain when you cut down?

Your hair and fingernails do not have nerves, so you can cut or clip them without pain. If you clip your nails back too far, there are nerves in the flesh underneath the nails that can cause pain. The top layers of the epidermis can take shallow cuts and scratches with little to no pain. This layer is very thin. It is what peels off when you get a sunburn.


What happens if your toe hurts and its red?

It depends on what you did to it but if you are unsure on what you did/what happened then you probably have an infected toe, it's not a big thing and usually happens when you cut your toenails too short. Just wash the toe in warm water with salt and maybe coat it with disinfectant so it doesn't get too infected, hope this helps :)


How to get rid of foot fungus on tow nails?

Regularly trimming and filing the infected nail reduces the amount of infection and can help eliminate the spreading of infection. A process called debriding (usually done by a podiatrist) involves filing down any part of the nail thickened by infection. Because, if treated properly, the infection should grow out with the nail, this maintenance will help you to get rid of your toenail fungus faster, and reduce the nasty appearance of the infection.

yes The nerves are in the "quick" part of the nail, just like our fingernails and toenails. It can be seen as the pink area closest to the toe on clear or white nails, but not on black or brown ones.
