thumb|A pedicure in progress thumb|Street pedicure in Bamako A pedicure is a cosmetic treatment of the feet and toenails, analogous to a manicure.

A pedicure includes dead skin cells being rubbed off the bottom of the feet using a rough stone (often a pumice stone). Skincare is frequently provided up to the knee, including granular exfoliation, moisturizing, and massage. The word pedicure is derived from the Latin words pedis, which means "of the foot", and cura, which means "care".
