Ingrown toenail: what are the symptoms and causes?

An ingrown toenail occurs when one of the edges of the nail digs into the surrounding skin.

More specifically, it is an abnormal digging into the flesh. And those who know will tell you: It’s very painful.

In addition, redness and swelling appear around the affected area. Most often, this problem affects the big toe. It is a very common condition in both men and women.

The most common causes are

  • Cutting the nails too short or at an angle (too close to the intersection with the skin)
  • Wearing socks or shoes that are too tight
  • Shocks and trauma, such as banging your toe on a piece of furniture
  • Repetitive strain injuries, especially for runners.
