Condition
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes infection. They most often affect the big toe and can result from improper nail trimming, tight footwear, trauma, or a genetic tendency toward curved nails.
