Ingrowing Toenails

Ingrown toenails develop when the nail's edges grow into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and potential infection. Common triggers include improper nail trimming, tight-fitting shoes, or nail trauma. Symptoms vary from mild discomfort to severe pain, particularly when pressure is applied to the affected toe. Infection can occur if bacteria invade the compromised skin, leading to pus and heightened pain.
