INGROWN TOENAILS
INGROWN TOENAILS
Ingrown toenails occur when the edges or corners of your nails grow into the skin next to the nail. Your big toe is most likely to get an ingrown toenail.
Ingrown toenails can be treated at home. However, if you have diabetes or other conditions that causes poor circulation you are risking yourself to complications that might require medical treatment.


WHAT CAUSES INGROWN TOENAILS
According to the National Health Services (NHS), ingrown toenails may be more common in people with sweaty feet, such as teenagers.
It occurs to both men and women, and older people may also be at higher risk because toenails thicken with age.
Many things can cause an ingrown toenail, including:
-
Cutting toenails incorrectly
-
Genetic predisposition
-
Poor posture
-
Irregular, curved toenails
-
Improper foot hygiene
-
Footwear that places a lot of pressure on the big toes
-
Toenail injury, including stubbing your toe, dropping something heavy on your foot, or kicking a ball repeatedly
