These fish can feed themselves on the dead cells of the human body, since they only consume such cells, leaving the healthy skin of the human body to grow.
The fish species are often found in the river basins in the Middle East, including Syria, Iraq, Iran and Turkey, and thus is also called Turkish Fish. Doctor fish spa resorts opened in Hakone, Japan, and in Umag, Croatia in 2006 where the fish are used to clean the bathers at the spa. There are also spas in resorts in China, such as Hainan, South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia. Doctor Fish help treat dermatological disorders like Psoriasis.
