Question by pinkandloopy: Does anybody know about the fish that supposedly eat hard skin?
No-I didn’t make this up!! Read about a pedicure treatment (also used to treat psoriasis) in which small fish are used who eat hard skin! Trying to find a way to overcome my foot phobia and get a really good pedicure at the same time and this could be a real ‘in at the deep end’ way to go about it. I live in London and would be grateful if anybody could tell me where I can find this treatment??
……didn’t see it on Ugly Betty,but nice to know I didn’t imagine the whole thing!

  2. Sarah D says:

    Yes you can have it done in spas in Cyprus and Turkey.
    The fish is called a Garra Rufa and its from the carp family of fish.
    I can’t find anywhere on the net who does it in this country I’m afraid.
