Ingrown nails are nails whose corners or sides of the nails dig painfully into the skin, often causing infection. They are frequently caused by improper nail trimming but also by shoe pressure, injury, fungus infection, heredity, and poor foot structure. Toenails should be trimmed straight across, slightly longer than the end of the toe. If the ingrown portion of the nail is painful or infected, our podiatrist may remove the affected portion; if the condition reoccurs frequently, our podiatrist may remove the ingrown nail surgically under local anaesthetic.
