Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can occur on any toe but are most common on the big toes. They usually develop when tight-fitting or narrow shoes put too much pressure on the toenail and force the nail to grow into the flesh of the toe. Incorrect toenail trimming can also contribute to the risk of developing an ingrown toenail. Other causes are:
- Injuries
- Abnormalities in the structure of the foot
- Repeated impact on the toenail from high-impact aerobic exercise
