FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April is Foot Health Awareness Month: APMA Survey Reveals Most Common Foot Problems

NonyXPrinceton, NJ -April 5, 2006 -- During April, the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) works hard to draw attention to the importance of good foot and ankle care. This year's campaign addresses the most common foot problems, with foot odor and toenails topping the list.

C. J. Buck, MIA, CEO of Xenna Corporation (www.xenna.com) says, "With age, there's a tendency to develop calluses and thick, brittle or yellow toenails. However, as podiatrists are well aware, most people just don't take the time to properly care for their feet. Yellow, discolored toenails are unattractive and most people are just too embarrassed to expose them in public. This is true of cracked, dry heels, as well."

Dr. Nicholas Romansky, a Media, Pennsylvania podiatrist says that he commonly sees patients who hide their feet simply because they're embarrassed about the way their feet and toenails look. Dr. Romansky says, "To be successful, patients must be consistent in following their foot care regimen and be willing to make changes which affect the environment surrounding their feet." Good foot care habits include:
  • Thoroughly washing and drying feet daily
  • Throwing out all old shoes and nail polish
  • Changing shoes and socks at least twice a day
  • Taking your own nail implements when getting a manicure or pedicure; never share nail tools with others
  • After purchasing new shoes, place shoes periodically in a sunny place where they can air out, and
  • Use foot grooming products on a regular basis to keep feet attractive, soft and odor-free.
Callex Xenna Corporation distributes two foot grooming products for nails and heels. NonyX® Nail Gel for yellow, discolored toenails and CalleX® Callus Ointment for calluses and dry, cracked heels. Xenna's patented, diabetic-friendly NonyX® Nail Gel, takes a unique, natural approach to the problem of unattractive yellow or discolored nails - especially toenails.

Buck says, "NonyX is a topical, easy-to-use gel that breaks down and removes keratin debris - the discolored, yellow or thick granular buildup under nails that causes them to become discolored and unattractive. NonyX Gel softens keratin debris using natural ethanoic acid, which permits it to be scraped out with a manicure tool, beginning after about four weeks. Once the white or yellow keratin debris is removed, nails look clear and regular use of the gel keeps them keratin debris free and attractive."

Xenna also makes CalleX® Callus Ointment, which uses natural enzymes to exfoliate calluses and to smooth and rejuvenate dry, cracked heels. CalleX has been shown in consumer studies to significantly reduce callus, dry, flaking skin and cracking on soles and heels within 15 to 30 days. Acid-free and safe for diabetic use, CalleX moisturizes dry, rough or flaky skin, and exfoliates and thins callused areas, while leaving normal skin unaffected.

NonyX Nail Gel can be purchased in the footcare section of Walgreens, Rite Aid, Longs, Eckerd Pharmacy , Brooks Pharmacy, Duane Reade, Medicine Shoppe pharmacies and Wal-Mart. CVS Pharmacy will have NonyX Gel on its shelves by the end of April. NonyX Gel is also available at HEB and Brookshire grocery stores, and online at www.drugstore.com, www.FootSmart.com and www.xenna.com.

CalleX Ointment is now available in the footcare section at Walgreens, Longs and many Medicine Shoppe pharmacies. CalleX can also be purchased online at www.drugstore.com, www.FootSmart.com and www.xenna.com.
