Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails are toenails that have a tendency to curl into the surrounding skin on our toes.

If left unattended, they are can get infected and/or irritated.  Make sure to wear wider-fitting shoes.  This will prevent your shoes from putting pressure onto your toenails.  Wearing high heels will have just the opposite effect!  Avoiding any type of trauma to the toenails will also be beneficial. Avoid people from stepping on your toes and avoid hitting your toenails against hard surfaces.
