Ingrowing Toenail

Ingrowing toenails range from moderately curved nails which press into the fleshy fold at the side of the toe, to the nail which has grown forward and pierced the flesh, causing scar tissue to build up. This often leads to infection. An ingrowing toenail is often initiated by ill-fitting footwear or by cutting toenails excessively down the side of the nail.
