You develop a callus on the bottom of your hallux from a pair of ill-fitting shoes, and you feel the pain of an Onychocryptosis on the same hallux. clusive se 1. Describe both conditions and their symptoms using proper terminology. 2. To treat the callus, you decide to shave off some of the excess epidermis. While doing this, you notice that there is no pain or bleeding. Why wouldn't it cause pain to remove only the superficial part of the epidermis? Why wouldn't it bleed? 3. Unfortunately, you go a bit overboard and feel a sudden pinch, after which you notice you are bleeding. What has happened? Are you still in the epidermis? Explain. 4. A treatment for Onychocryptosis is to remove the nail and apply a chemical such as phenol to the cells of the nail matrix, which kills the cells. What effect will killing the cells of the nail matrix have on the nail? Explain.

Expert Solution
Step 1
1. Calluses are caused by repeated pressure or friction on an area of skin and in this case it was done by I'll fitted shoes. Onychocryptosis is caused by the pressure from ingrowth of the nail egde into the skin of the toe.
2. Callus is hyper keratinized skin. Epidermis outer protective layer of the skin composed of stratified squamous keratinized epithelial tissue. So cut on it doesn't cause pain.
