A fish pedicure is a treatment in which the feet are immersed in a tub of water at a temperature of 25°C to 30°C that is filled with small fish called Garra rufa or "doctor fish." Garra rufa are a nonmigratory, freshwater species that belong to the carp family (Cyprinidae) and are native to waters from the Persian Gulf to the eastern Mediterranean. In their natural habitat, suction assists them in sticking to rocks while they ingest plankton. Being omnivores, when there are insufficient plant sources, they will eat human skin. A town called Kangal was popular with people with psoriasis because it was observed that the resident Garra rufa fed on psoriatic plaques and spared normal skin. These subjective results were confirmed in a clinical trial that included 67 patients with psoriasis who underwent therapy with these fish for 3 weeks and experienced a 72% reduction in the Psoriasis Area Severity Index score compared with baseline, with no adverse effects.
'Fish Pedicure' Makes Woman's Toenails Stop Growing By E.J. Mundell TUESDAY, July 3, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- A New York City woman who got a trendy "fish pedicure" may have lost a little more than the dead skin on her feet -- she may have lost her toenails, too. So finds a case report published July 3 in the journal JAMA Dermatology. A dermatologist who treated the woman says the tiny "doctor fish" (Garra rufa) that feasted on the 20-something's feet somehow triggered onychomadesis -- a condition involving "a complete halt in nail plate production. "During a fish pedicure, people immerse their feet in warm water and let doctor fish eat away at dead skin. The procedures have become all the rage in recent years. "Being omnivores," the fish "will eat human skin," wrote case report author Dr. Shari Lipner, a dermatologist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. In fact, one clinical trial found that doctor fish were a useful treatment for people with psoriasis -- the fish ate away psoriatic skin but left healthier bits untouched, Lipner said in the report. "First, tubs and fish cannot be adequately sanitized between people," Lipner said, "with the same fish typically reused for several persons. "That raises the odds for infections transmitted between customers, and "several bacteria capable of causing disease in humans were isolated in batches of Garra rufa and waters from 24 fish spas," she said. There have even been two recorded cases of serious staph infections tied to fish pedicures, Lipner noted. "Therefore, their use has been banned in at least 10 states in the United States," she said. In the new case report, the young woman complained of six months of abnormal toenail growth. Despite being in good health with no prior history of nail disorders, some of her toenails showed a separation and gradual disappearance of the underlying nail bed. Lipner diagnosed onychomadesis -- a not-uncommon condition that's most often linked to underlying major illness or certain medications. Ruling those causes out, "to my knowledge this is the first case of onychomadesis associated with a fish pedicure," she said.
