Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can occur for a variety of reasons including poor nail cutting technique, footwear that is too tight or toenails that curve in to the skin excessively. A traditional ingrown toenail occurs when a small spike of nail has been left behind after the nails have been cut, and this spike grows in to the skin at the edge of the nail. In some cases the ingrown nail can be removed simply in one treatment, other cases require regular routine care to prevent the nail from ingrowing, and more chronic cases may require surgical removal of the edge of the nail.
